Apologies!

A big apology to the Goodreads community! I've been absent for too long. Lack of reviews does not mean lack of reading, but I've been busy writing and undertaking some overseas travel, as well as dealing with the illness and death of two beloved old dogs.

I hope to get some new reviews up soon. Please forgive me if I'm a little slow. First cab off the rank will be zombie apocalypse novel 'Allison Hewitt is Trapped' by Madeleine Roux.

Meanwhile, love and happy reading to all.

Click here to see the fantastic book trailer from Planeta for A Vidente de Sevenwaters.  English translation of the text: A girl who can see the future; a man with no past; a voyage to the unknown; a mission, a monster, a desperate search for the truth; a heart divided by choice. Welcome to the magical world of Sevenwaters.

New interview up

Here's a new interview from a German book site (in English) with some interesting questions. Heir to Sevenwaters is about to be released in German.

Juliet to visit Portugal

Great news! I will be visiting Portugal from July 3-7 this year for the release of Seer of Sevenwaters by my new publisher, Planeta. More news on the itinerary later. This will be on the way home from a trip to the USA to present a workshop in California and attend a convention in New York. I'm really looking forward to seeing my lovely Portuguese readers again.

Seer of Sevenwaters published in Australia and the USA

Seer of Sevenwaters is now available in Australia (trade paperback from Pan Macmillan) and the USA (hardback from Roc.) Readers in other parts of the world, including the UK, can purchase the book from the usual online booksellers. The Book Depository generally has reasonable prices and prompt availability, with the added bonus of free shipping.

Shadowfell in Portugal

I'm delighted to advise that the Shadowfell series has been sold to Planeta in Portugal. No publication dates yet - the English editions are not coming out until 2012, so it may be a while.

Dutch and German editions

Some good news for my readers in Europe:

Heir to Sevenwaters will be published in a German edition in July 2011. The Sevenwaters Trilogy will be re-released with new covers in April, May and June, so keen readers can purchase a matching set of four! The publisher is Knaur.

The Dutch edition of Seer of Sevenwaters will be published in July 2011. The translator is currently working on it. The publisher is Luitingh-Sijthoff.
