Gin goes international …

March 9th, 2011 • Posted in About Books, Elemental Assassin series

Gin Blanco is headed overseas.

I’m happy to report that the first three Elemental Assassin books — Spider’s Bite, Web of Lies, and Venom — will be published in Russia. Spider’s Bite and Web of Lies will be published in France, and Spider’s Bite will be published in Serbia.

Pretty cool, huh? 😉

These are the foreign rights that my publisher has sold so far for the series. Now, I have no idea when the books will be released overseas. I’m assuming it will be the usual 12-18 months after the deal is done before the books are released (like it is in the U.S.). The Russian and French deals were done last year; the Serbian deal just happened this February.

Someone sent me an e-mail saying that Spider’s Bite would be out in France in April, but I don’t really have any way of confirming that. So if you’re an overseas reader and see my books somewhere, please let me know. I’d love to see what the cover art looks like.

It always amazes me that people here in the U.S. can read my books. But in the next year or so, folks in other countries can read them too, in addition to the ones who already read the English versions. Can world domination be too far behind? LOL.

Gin would look awesome in a Ushanka no doubt! How does she feel about Vodka though?

  Well, Gin likes gin, of course. LOL. But I imagine she’d be perfectly happy to toast to the books with some vodka.

Congratulations! Looks like a book tour across the sea is order. Russia, France, and Serbia would be exciting destinations.

  Thanks! I’d love to take a world tour for the Gin books. Maybe when I win the lottery … LOL.

Folks in other countries are already reading the books. 🙂

We just can’t do it in our native language yet. Congrats.

I’m not at all surprised by the news that your books are going international. You are an excellent story teller, and your writing reflects how hard you work at it. You deserve every bit of success that you get.

  Aw, thanks. I appreciate the nice words about my books. 😉

Congratulations! In France the first book will be released on April 6. The title is “Le baiser de l’araignée” (spider’s kiss) and you can see the cover here: https://boulevardpassion.forumactif.com/t1655-l-executrice-t1-le-baiser-de-l-araignee-jennifer-estep

Personally, I have the first two books in english and so far Gin is one of the best heroin I’ve ever read about. I don’t think I’ll read the books in french though, because I’m more than often disappointed by french translations. But hey! all readers aren’t like me (and that’s a good thing because otherwise the edition industries would have some serious trouble) and I’m sure they will see how wonderful the Elemental assassin series is.

Thanks again for your great work!

  Cool! Thanks for the link and the release date info. I appreciate that, and all the nice words about my books. I hope you enjoy Venom and Tangled Threads even more! 😉
