Some good news for this week – An Inheritance of Magic is getting a French translation! The publisher is Bayard Editions, and they’re hoping to publish in October 2025. The German translation has been in production for a long time, so it’s nice to have a second European translation to go with it.
As regards future books, An Instruction in Shadow is sitting with my publishers at the moment, waiting to move on to the next stage of edits. I’m still working on my plans for Book 3, and hoping to start around the end of the year.
Congrats! It will be fun to see the German and French covers.
That is very good news – I’m assuming that it means that your publisher is confident that the new series is going to be a success not only in the English speaking world but also has the potential for a wider global audience.
Looking forward to more articles focusing on the Drucraft world in 2024 and maybe an “Ask Amy” or “Ask Joanna” column…(Please?)
Have to admit, though I was initially upset that we weren’t getting any more Alex Verus books, I’ve become equally addicted to this new series. Great work Mr. Jacka!
