The Otherkin Series to Be Published in Czech!

 
The headline says it all except for - WOO HOO!

To celebrate, here's my own photo of Prague from my visit there in 2008:
 


Such a spectacular city!

How cool is it that a book I wrote will be coming out in a language I can't even read? It's surreal.

I can't help wondering - how will "otherkin" translate in Czech? Not to mention "humdrum" and "Othersphere"!  Luckily for me, that's up to the translator.

And what will the covers of the books look like? I'm a huge fan of Czech artist Alphone Mucha, and so am dreaming of art deco tigers dancing across the covers...



Or perhaps that a very dated way to think about Czech design. Here's the cover of Czech edition of Maggie Stiefvater's Scorpio Races, as a more recent example:


Very cool!

Thanks to KTeen for making the sale and I'll keep you posted when I finally do see a Czech book cover and find out the Czech word for otherkin. Stay tuned!

Life's a Banquet

Today I got some excellent news, which I hope to share with you soon.

Minutes later, I heard that someone I worked with a few years ago was killed this weekend, along with his wife, in a car crash.

There you have it, the seesaw of life. It gives with one hand, and somewhere, for someone, it's taking everything away with the other.

What do we learn from this?  I think Auntie Mame said it best.
