oh so pretty. So nice to see them in the final form. Desire them peoples. Ask for them. Seek them out. They look damn good and, I'm told, are pretty amazingly written, so you should desire a copy.
1st of October, NZ and Oz. US and the rest of the world will have to wait.

Book launches and international publication
People keep asking: when is the film out? when will the book be published internationally? How much do I have to pay for the book?
Good questions.
Answers: film? Well, these things, seriously, take time. I have been involved with the film industry: if you have been given funding then one goes about filming the content but, it takes time because someone (ie who has money - ie production house) has to pick it up. As to the US Film rights, we have to tread carefully because the publishing rights come first....
International publication? Those in the know say that this book should not be 'pigeoned- holed' at any genre. That, there is the rub (ta - Will Shakespeare).
The interest we are getting from a wide range of houses is exciting and looks to mean serious competition for the 'priviledge' of publishing this trilogy.
In the short term, we enjoy the excitment of the impending launch of Banquo's Son here in NZ and OZ and look forward to later publications in other parts of the world.

Pressure from the fans
So, quite a few people now have read Banquo's Son. And, the opinion is divided as to who should be the life partner for Fleance.
What is an author to do? Keep true to my story or be swayed by the people who have strong opinions?
Part of me is pleased that there is developing a Rosie vs Rachel situation - it means I've got it right in terms of these gals who both love Fleance with passion and devotion.
I think I will push on with my original dream because that's what I know is right and, perhaps, some people will be cross (but understand!)
