Well, it’s been a while since we’ve seen one of these: an actual piece of actual news! To do with the actual books!

I’ve now signed the contract for the American edition of the second trilogy, but for unknown reasons the release dates weren’t included. I made an enquiry, and can now inform you that the first installment, The Shadow’s Heir, will hit American shelves in January of 2013. The other two will follow, possibly at 6-monthly intervals, or possibly one-monthly as with the first trilogy – I’ll let you know once I find out.

Anyway, mark it on you calendars, American readers! Er, when you have your 2013 calendar, that is. You know, once they’re on sale. It’ll be a nice 27th birthday present to me!
