I'll be in London, signing at Forbidden Planet's London Megastore next Saturday the 8th December, between 1 and 2pm. (That's at 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, London WC2H 8JR.) It's been arranged by Tor for the UK launch of "The Family Trade", and FP note on their website (http://www.forbiddenplanet.com/Signings.html) that if you want to pre-order a signed copy you need to do so before noon on Friday.
And in other news, I get book covers (http://fantasyshop.cz/gfx/upload/fs_ob_200710315425.jpg). That little gem is the cover of the Czech edition of "The Family Trade" (see the British edition (http://www.forbiddenplanet.com/products/25967/The_Merchant_Princes_Volume_1_Family_Trade/Fantasy/Books/Product.html) and US edition (http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n24/n122751.jpg) for comparison). NB: I didn't embed that image directly because I suspect some of you read my blog at work and your co-workers might want to know what the screams were about — I hear some Czech bookshops are apparently mis-shelving it under "romance", and I can only imagine what the readers will think when they get to the end of book #2. (Hint: the love interest's fate is not appealing.) What were they thinking?
