If your new books will ever be translated try to get a better translator!

Ouch.

Unfortunately, when foreign rights are sold it's the publishing house buying them that chooses the translator; the author has no say in the matter at all. Not that it would be any better, in my own case, if I did have a choice, my ignorance of any language other than English.

Anyway, welcome to my little forum here at the Chronicles, Maria.

(Oh, and regarding Goblin Moon, there may be news of a reprint coming up soon.)
