Bongiorno Italia and attentin Latvia!

Before I start on this shameless plug for me and my books, let me apologise for the lack of pictures.  When blogging via email I can't send pictures.  I can't call up the blog on the web, either, as I connect to the 'net when travelling via a mobile phone, which has a speed of 9.6kbps.  For non technical people, like myself, that means f*ing slowly.

 

Anyway, greetings, or bongiorno, I suppose, to all my future Italian readers.  Just got some good news from my very good friends at Pan Macmillan (the publishers) that my first book, Far Horizon, and third, African Sky, are to be translated into Italian and released there sometime in the near future.

 

That means I am, or will soon be, published in five languages - English (though my former boss and now senior sub editor Greg N would question that claim); Dutch, German, Italian and Latvian).

 

Yes, Latvian.  Attention, legion of Latvian fans (all 500 of you - I prefer the term 'limited edition' rather than 'very small print run').... As the publishers never came through with a Latvian copy of "Zambezi" I will pay good money for one of these. 

 

Too much blogging, not enough work.  I fear I have fallen into the trap of procrastination.  Deb, it is all your fault.
