DIE REGENBOGEN ORCHIDEE
Wed 2 Oct 2013

The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that I let this news slip a little early, during an interview at the Edinburgh Festival. But now I can say it officially - I'm tremendously pleased to be able to say that there will be a German edition of The Rainbow Orchid, published in three volumes by Salleck Publications.

Volume 1 - Die Wette ('The Bet') will launch at Comic Action in Essen, Germany, which takes place 24-27 October 2013, and I will be there on Sat 26, and maybe for some of Sun 27 as well, depending on travel timings.

I'm very grateful to Eckart Schott, proprietor of Salleck, and also to Hélène Ferey and my agent Oli Munson at A M Heath. A special thank you also to César Espona, my Spanish publisher (NetCom2 Editorial), for initiating contact with Salleck. And I must give a special mention to Michael Beck, of Letter Factory, who is working his socks off to get the book ready in time for the launch.

Thanks very much, ComixLass - very nice of you :-)

Excellent news! (Just wondering... You said Volume 1 - Die Wette ('The Bet'). So on the cover for the German edition, it will say - with the German RO title, 'Die Wette' with the words Volume 1 (in German), or they plan to replace the V.1 words with just 'Die Wette'. No rush in answering, just curious.) So exciting!

I've only seen an early draft of the cover so far, but I think they're dispensing with the 'Vol 1' and going with the sub-titles. You can see the cover here (draft version at time of writing).

Linda, on Thursday 3 October 2013 at 10:16 am, says:
Thank-you, Garen. We'll know the official cover very soon. :-)

Linda, on Wednesday 23 October 2013 at 6:04 pm, says:
I was looking at your publisher's link to the German 'The Rainbow Orchid' today, and realized your name wasn't on the cover. (I'm guessing that is still the early draft cover on their site.) Have a good trip to Germany!

Garen, on Wednesday 23 October 2013 at 6:13 pm, says:
Yes - that does still seem to be the early draft cover. I'll find out in three days' time!
