News on the New Book

The still-to-be-unnamed new book is expected to be released late this month. Unfortunately, the English translation will not be ready yet. But Jane did tell me that she is working on the 5th book of the Tanya Grotter series.

Translation News

Jane has finished translating a new book of mine that has not yet come off the press. For that reason, I am not naming the book here. Her editor is reviewing the translation. Hopefully, both Russian and English versions will be ready at the same time. I will keep everyone posted on the progress.

Flamy the Dragonet

Flamy the Dragonet is finally ready. It has most of the illustrations from the original Russian version. Though written after the birth of our first child, this has remained one of my favorites. As it started as a fairy tale/fantasy for a slightly younger set of readers, it has talking toys, a talking cat, talking trees, a wizard, dragons, heroes, villains, treasures, adventures, and all the other wondrous things of dreams.

Enjoy and please feel free to comment.
