Today, I had the singular pleasure of receiving my author’s copies of the Russian edition of SONGS OF THE EARTH. Click on any image to embiggen. I have to say it’s the dinkiest hardback I’ve ever seen, short of the BFS Journal. Compared to the German editions, it’s positively sylph-like, yet still weighs in at …

This month sees the arrival of two bumper bundles of joy: Trinity Rising in the States tomorrow from Tor, and last week Die Wilde Jagd in Germany (Heyne). Same again? Er, no For those of you who don’t know, Book 2 of The Wild Hunt is darker and more disturbing than Songs of the Earth. …

Here’s a peek at the cover art for the French edition of Trinity Rising, a.k.a Le Lever des Lunes, which is due out in January 2013 This isn’t a very hi-res image, because I just pinched it from Amazon, but you can see the forest theme is continuing, this time in a gorgeous sunset palette. …

A couple of days ago, seeing as publication of Trinity Rising was imminent, I had a poke about on my overseas publishers’ websites to see if I could find some release dates for the translated editions. Imagine my delight when I found this. Isn’t it gorgeous? Yet again, Heyne have done me and my books …

Or, something gorgeous this way comes, in the shape of my author’s copies of Les Chants de la Terre, from my French publisher Bragelonne. I don’t know if you can make it out in the picture, but the title is embossed, with a touch of electric-blue foil on the twiddly bits. That electric-blue foil continues …

I tweeted recently that I’d had a request for an interview from a fantasy fan in Cuba. Here he is – Gonzalo very kindly sent me a picture of himself and his much-prized copy of Bajo la Hiedra. Note the finger carefully marking his place . . . Fantasy books are pretty difficult to obtain …

Yesterday, my author’s copies of the Polish edition of Songs of the Earth arrived, courtesy of my publisher over there, Amber. I am running out of space for all these books – if the Health & Safety Executive saw the size of the pile in my office, I think they’d shut me down. I apologise …

I don’t think I will ever get over that feeling of utter childlike delight when a parcel arrives from my publisher containing copies of my books. There is jumping up and down like a little girl, and there is grinning, and there is The Squee. I make no apology for it: the day I become …

The postie brought me a parcel just now – my author’s copies of the Dutch edition of Songs of the Earth, Het Lied van der Aarde. Doesn’t it look fantastic? The colours are much more muted and subtle than the early snapshots of the cover art led me to expect – so atmospheric, especially with …

And the covers just keep on coming . . . this time from my German publisher, Heyne. Wow. When I was down in London for the Book Fair last month, Sacha told me I could expect to see the cover art for the German edition within a couple of weeks, and very atmospheric it is …
