I have terrible timing on these things. I really ought to wait until, say, Monday or Tuesday when people are no longer bothering with this nonsense of having families and/or social lives.

On the other hand, if I share this news at a time when hardly anybody is checking LiveJournal, maybe people will think it means I am modest and retiring. I like that idea, so let's run with it.

German rights for both Spell Hunter and its sequel Wayfarer have sold to a very fine publishing house called Hanser, which has made a nice thing of Angie Sage's Septimus Heap books over there, and seems eager to try and do the same for my Faery Rebels.

I am extremely pleased about this, as it means a great many relatives and friends on my husband's side will now be able to read my book in their own country and language. Tentative pub date is some time in 2010.

Between this and the UK deal for Wayfarer last week, I must say I am having a rather splendid December!

We are like foreign rights twins now! Until you go and sell to Italy or France or both, of course. :D

All that would mean is that you're destined to follow! I mean, you sold UK rights first and I sold German rights first. We're just following in each other's footsteps.

And quite frankly, if they are making their way around the world, I would be more than happy to follow yours.:)

Hey, aren't you supposed to be on a plane to Florida...? Not that I would wish you to be stuck in an airport right now, I hasten to add!

No, no, we're driving out in the morning. I've spent the past several hours packing -- apparently I've become high-maintenance in the last few years -- and have retreated to the computer for one last fling. Glad I did, 'cause now I can brag to my vacation-mates about 'my friend, the international author...' :)

Does Harper own world rights, or is this your agent doing the deals?

From: [identity profile] rj-anderson.livejournal.com
Harper has world rights except UK/Aus/NZ, which was done separately through my agent. So with this German deal I have just come a great deal closer to earning out my advance, huzzah!

I have to say that even if everything I've heard about this season of HEROES made me want to run away very fast in the other direction (and so far I have), your squeeful Claire icon always makes me happy. Ah, the glory days...

Pleased??? I WOULD BE DANCING IN THE STREETS!!!!!!

I imagine I will be in Germany sometime in 2010, so if I remember...lol...I will look for your books. That's a long time from now but I will try not to forget.

I love the excerpt I read, so am very happy for you. :)
