Helsinki in the Springtime
I've just had a comment posted from a reader in Finland - thanks for that, Tommi! It reminds me of why blogging is so powerful - it is the only quick way to keep in touch with readers and to let people know what is happening.
When you're lucky enough to be translated into other languages, it usually means the publication dates are spread out over many months, often years. I've just answered queries from my Hebrew, my Spanish, my Japanese and my Bulgarian translators, for example, for publication during 2009. But, the first published edition of Sepulchre was in the UK on 31st October 2007. The last is likely to be sometime in 2010!
So, to Finland. From a reader who was kind enough to post a comment, I know that Sepulchre is actually already available in Finnish! As it happens, I am going to be in Helsinki for the 19th and 20th March, so just a little after publication. I don't have my schedule yet, but there will be a major book club event on 19th March, followed by interviews and signings on 20th March to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the publishing company, Otava. More details will appear on the Otava website - www.otava.fi - in due course. For now, it's just great to be visiting Finland in the spring and to have a little time to explore.
A bientôt.

Wonderful that you would visit Finland soon :) I hope you enjoy your visit! And since you are coming here up North, how about a little visit to Jylland in Denmark? If you ever come over, do let it know through the blog as I would love to be there and greet you :) By the way, I am terribly enjoying The Cave..a small appetizer before your next book is out ! :)
