Well, it's finally happened. I've got a deal for Chronicles of the Raven with Pyr books in the US.

They do such excellent authors as Joe Abercrombie and Tom Lloyd so I'm in good company.

It's been a long time coming but thanks to the unstinting work of my agent, Howard Morhaim, and the keen eye for quality of Lou Anders at Pyr, I'll be on US book shelves for the first time in a year or so (pub date not announced yet).

That really is a monkey off my back.

Well done, I guess America is one of the biggest markets out there and to get a break must be really pleasing.

Congrats on the U.S. deal James. Never know...might just catch the eye of some big film exec, and our dreams of a Raven motion picture may yet come to pass Laughing
