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!

Yo everyone.
I know I said I would be posting up the other entries for the contest, but unfortunately someone was foolish enough to buy me a copy of Skyrim for Christmas, so… yeah. Time kind of slips away, you know?

Anyway, there’s still one other thing to be done before the other entries go up. Over the holidays I gave it some thought, and I have decided that due to the high quality of the entries I got I will be selecting three runners up from among the remaining entries. These three runners up will be entitled to a signed copy of book four, The Shadow’s Heir, when it comes out later this year. Or, if said runners up are lacking a copy of one of the three books that are already out, they may ask for that instead.

I shall be announcing the runners up shortly, so stay tuned!

Katie’s new and awesome website is coming very, very soon!
