Dutch Treat
Exciting news from the Netherlands! Amsterdam-based Dutch publisher Mynx has purchased translation and publishing rights to The Warded Man!
I am totally psyched about this edition, and I pray that it will come with an excuse to someday visit Amsterdam, which is on my travel wishlist, even though they put mayonaise on their french fries.
Also, lots of reviews have been piling up while I’ve been working on other things. Here’s a quick update:
A review of The Warded Man, along with an interview I did recently, will appear in the June 2009 issue of Skive magazine which also includes 160 pages of stories, articles and poetry.
The printed book will be out 1st June, but the proprietor tells me anyone from my Facebook group can buy the Ebook early for $3.00 if they so wish (RRP is $5.00).
Also, a great Warded Man review in the Miami Herald from a couple of days ago, and on Sign on San Diego. The guys at the Smote blog made The Painted Man their May book of the month, and each posted reviews you can see here.
I also really enjoyed this review by the Drunken Scholar and this one by Lauren on Book Blogs. Found several reviews on Shelfari, too, and a good one on SF Reader.
A longer, but more mixed, review can be found on Eilis O’Neal’s blog. Can’t thrill everyone, I guess.
Peat, do you know if it is being translated into Flemish?
Also, this is good news for the Belgian market. Your Bragellone deal with make it available to French speaking Walloons and the new Dutch edition can be purchased by Dutch speaking residents of northern Flanders.
Wait… the facebook group I started is getting people deals on the book? That is somehow surreal….
I just find that remarkably fawesome….maybe the group will get bigger now….gooooo fandom growth!
The P/W Man really is taking over the world and it’s hell-a cool.
Peat, you do realize how much you rock, right?
You’re already fawesome, Lo. This is just further evidence.
Congrats!
There was already some attention on your book in the Dutch blogosphere (like here: http://www.nusa-online.nl/archives/384 and here: http://www.dutchcowgirls.nl/offline/2018).
Btw, mayonaise and fries = the best. 🙂
Great post! Just wanted to let you know you have a new subscriber- me!
Aloha everybody !
just a question: when will we see or find the book in our Belgian and Dutch stores?
let us know
btw loved The Painted Man and looking forward to the other books

Fenix, the book should be available in English and French in both countries, but I do not yet know the publishing schedule for Mynx’s Dutch translation. I will make an announcement as soon as I hear anything.
Thanks!
