Thirst forthcoming in...Turkey

Yeah it is! 

I’ve known about this for a little while now but today I signed the contract and that makes it legit. The Proprietor is my new Guy Richie Ganster Name too. 

The Turkish rights for THIRST have been bought by the publisher Altin Kitaplar who publish a wide range of authors from Agatha Christie, Stephen King to MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA. 

Needless to say, I’m bloody delighted about this. The idea of Dave and Alena’s fragile love story being read by new readers in Turkey is just amazing and something I could never have imagined happening (as with so many things these last few years (another post for another post for another time…)) 

I was in Istanbul only last year and instantly fell in love with the beautiful city, the kindness of strangers, the well cared for wild cats and kittens sunning themselves on street corners (and on shop awnings). I’m so happy to think of a book I wrote in some of the beautiful bookstores we visited and maybe being read by some of the same folks who were so incredibly kind to us. 

So, hurrah! I’m hoping I can return to Turkey and meet readers and pet cats and eat breakfasts that cover the entire table top at some point. Until then it’s wonderful knowing my story will be there…
