The Italian edition of Dragonkeeper—La Custode del Drago—has just been published. It’s up there on the publisher’s homepage along with Fay Weldon’s latest book, which is very exciting. They liked the new Australian cover so much that they decided to use it too.
I’m pleased to announce that the UK edition of Dragon Dawn will be released on 4 June. Here is the UK cover. Pretty cool isn’t it? Just to remind you, Dragon Dawn is a prequel to the Dragon Keeper Trilogy. It is set 100 years before Dragon Keeper when Danzi was younger and more sprightly, … Continued
It’s been such a long time since I’ve done a post, I’ve just about forgotten how to do it. I’ve got a couple of ideas for ongoing posts but first up I wanted to show everyone the lovely cover for the Japanese edition of Garden of the Purple Dragon. It is so sweet. Look for … Continued
