Hi Mr Hawkins! Any idea if your book will be translated in French? I work as a librarian and I recommended your book to a patron who, sadly, can't read english. I was wondering if in the near future I'll be able to acquire a french version for my public library? Thank you!

Yes! The French rights sold on April 25th! Unfortunately, I have no idea at all how long it will be before it shows up in bookstores.
It would be hard to overstate just how far removed I am from the process of rights sales. (Which is fine by me.) Literally my only involvement is when I get an email at the end of the process saying that one of the fine folks at Crown just sold thus-and-such right to so-and-so in some distant land. I write back and say "that's excellent news!" -- which it is -- and that's the end of it.
The foreign edition covers are fun, though.

Scooottttt!!!! I can only re-read "The Library At Mount Char" so many times!!! When can I have a new book!?!!? Sorry but I whine only because you are an astounding writer or enormous talent who produced one of the single greatest urban fantasy/adventure/metaphysical/science fiction novels I have ever read.

It's a trivial detail but... I'm going to ask it anyway to satisfy my curiosity. If Carolyn's catalog is to know every other language there is, including the language of animals, why does she still have a difficult time communicating with Michael? Sticking only to her own catalog, can Carolyn learn the language of animals up to a certain depth? Or did I just misunderstand that part of the novel?
