LATEST NEWS: Recognize the cover below? Me neither. But it appears that Anatopsis is now available in Thailand! A publishing company bought the Thai rights a long time ago, so it's all good and legal and I might even get some royalties from it some day, assuming anyone in Thailand actually buys these kinds of books. But I didn't really expect it to get published over there or to look so different. |

Since I don't read Thai, I can't tell you how good the translation is. Judging by the cover, it appears there are now Vikings somewhere in the book. I don't remember putting any Vikings in, but I'm sure I would have if I'd thought of it. In any case, it's all very exciting to know that someone in the world thought my book was worth translating. Now I can't wait for all the Thai book reviews!
