I’m early for one and late for the other, but let’s just pretend it’s Presidents’ Day and celebrate both together! Here’s the cover for the Brazilian edition of Seraphina, which came out in April:
Hurray! I hope Brazilian readers are enjoying the book!
And then, coming out at the end of May, we’ve got the Indonesian Seraphina!
My Indonesian translator informs me that this is original art by Ma...

Mike's review of The Demon's Lexicon (The Demon's Lexicon Trilogy, #1):
"
So, I originally only had a brief, badly written review for this book, because I read it right as I came to GoodReads, and I was still adjusting to everything. That was fine at first, but I'm so far in the minority, and I'm having so much trouble...

| Very mixed feelings about this one. If I promise a proper review later, that probably won't happen. Whatever I'm going to say, I have to say now. I appreciated the depth and variety of characterization here, but felt the writing was pretty heavy-hand...more | |

I just finished reading Seraphina this morning and I just had to let you know how much I loved it! I'll admit I was worried about reading it due to all the gushing reviews from fellow GR friends which is why I delayed in starting it but now I realise my mistake.I eagerly await the sequel.
Thank you for the friend request! You can give The Holy Terror her commission check (she My review does not do any justice to the beauty of the book. I cries quite a bit over this.
Please keep writing. If this is the caliber of your writing, then I want 100 more books from you!
Hi Rachel! Thanks for the add acceptance :) I look forward to talking books with you often! -T. P.S. Just finished Seraphina a few hours ago and I'm absolutely enthralled with your writing! Anxiously awaiting the second installment!
I can only imagine! Having worked on the publisher side, I can understand those crazy deadlines and constant revisions! I didn't realize that Seraphina was already out in stores (view spoiler). No time to read at all? That's the greatest tragedy of all!
I hope you can still stop by every now and then to say 'ullo!
Hey, Rachel! I love your dream with Catie, and me serving cookies! You are both invited to come up and visit anytime, assuming that either of you ever has the time.:)But no shoveling the driveway, okay? It would take the three of us a couple days to do that job.
Congrats on your success! It couldn't happen to a more deserving author or person. Let's all have a cookie! Or two.:)
Hey, Rachel! How's it to be a big, real, author lady? I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever. Hope you're doing well!
So today we saw Seraphina in the bookstore and the Australian cover is SO GORGEOUS!Of course we bought a copy right away.
Congrats!
Just wanted to say congrats on being a featured author on Chapters.indigo.ca's teen book website =)http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/t...
Yuppers. When a guy goes crazy saying his small publishing company is not a small press then bitches out bloggers saying he sells more than Tolkien, Hobb and Goodkind when he actually... doesn't... He, and his pseudonyms, goes on my Llama list.
Rachel wrote: "I noticed you liking some House of the Scorpion reviews, and I was all, "Hey, why didn't he like mine?" Oh, because I didn't write one! It's been a long time since I read that book, but I think you'd love it. It basically asks the question "Is evil hereditary?" I loooooved it so much. "Well of course I would have liked your review if you had written one!! I was just moving down the line of friends' reviews - I think after seeing a comment about the book by Catie.
Thanks for writing a personal review and rec just for me! I already have the sample and your praise gets me even more interested in it. It sounds great!
Getting more and more excited about your book, Rachel!!
that is a good motto. mine is, "if it doesn't move, it's food."this is a bad motto. i should think it through before i make it official.. i was too enthusiastic. oh, dear - that stapler isn't moving....
ooh, it is this thai restaurant near my house..... soo good. i do a weekly "adventures in food and fun" thingie on here in my writing section. you can see the actual food there and continue to be jealous. i love food. and fun.
I tend not to list my current-reading, for fear I might wander off and then get yelled at. Plus, I downloaded it yesterday, and read it in a huge tear. Excellent!
Shit, Rachel, I fucking loved your book. I'm sorry I'm swearing so much on your profile. Needed to be said.
Of course we're friends! Any friend of Ista's is a friend of mine. ;)I'm looking forward to reading Seraphina too--it was already on my TBR list!
Ahahaha, thank you. When I came across it on the internet I thought "Now that's afacepalm that will prove useful."
I so thought we were friends already, I see you everywhere on here so I just assumed =)Thanks for the invite =)
WOOOHOOOOO!!!! Number 8 is officially hanging in Rupp. Need to find a way to see it ASAP. Sounds like thousands of people celebrated today. I wanted to go to Rupp but the tickets sold out too quickly.
Thanks! Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat. Bleeding blue knows no bounds (international lines or otherwise). I'm so excited it's hard to actually focus on anything this evening.
Thanks for accepting my friend request. I just finished Seraphina and I absolutely adored it. It is now one of my favorite books, and I cannot wait to reread it and others! Thank you for a beautiful and thrilling escape into Phina's world!
Thank you so much for the friend request. (I am so much in awe of you after reading Seraphina that I would have just followed you in perpetuity rather than friending you!)
Hi Rachel! I picked up Seraphina this weekend at ALA midwinter and I can't tell you how excited I am to read it!
Hey Rachel, thanks for the friendvite! I'm glad to be in touch on a more regular basis. And if you start throwing your weight around when your book comes out, I'm sewing that shadow right back onto you with the biggest needle I can find.
Thanks for accepting my friend request. I loved your book and can't wait for the next one, even if this one is not out yet! Heraklion is not my hometown, but I've been living here for five years now and I love it, even though I hate seafood, can't really eat anything from the sea...:P
Thanks for accepting my friend request. I've enjoyed your reviews for a while and I'm looking forward to reading Seraphina when I can get my hands on it. :)
Thanks for the friend request. I'm so flattered. I've seen people getting really excited for Seraphina and sometimes I get intimidated about approaching GR friends because I'm actually rather shy.I must admit I've never read any Terry Pratchett. I don't necessarily have anything against him, there's just always other books I want to read first >.< I'll keep Tiffany Aching in mind, though. I'm always on the hunt for strong heroines.
Thanks so much for the request, Rachel. I'm glad that you decided to come back to goodreads. I enjoyed reading your book so much; I think that Stephanie and I will be eagerly awaiting the sequel! Best of luck on your debut!

Yay! I'll add you to my buddies when they get the system running. I'm also sort of cheating, since I've done a teensy bit of writing and a lot of outlining before I start officially.
(My 18+ charisma is irresistible. I knew you'd eventually succumb to my Nano-y pressures.)

I shall endeavour to kick the world's ass to the best of my ability. Er, the literature world's ass, that is. Maybe both, if I have time.
