One of the coolest things about writing and publishing THE YOUNGEST TEMPLAR: Keeper of the Grail (on sale September 18th and now available for pre-order at most online booksellers I’m just sayin’) has been the sales to foreign publishers. When I was in Bologna a few months ago, I got to meet several of the editors and publishers from each of the companies and it was a thrill to hear about their enthusiasm for my work. I never had any idea when I wrote THE YOUNGEST TEMPLAR: Keeper of the Grail (on sale September 18th and now available for pre-order at most online booksellers I’m just sayin’) that I would sell it in even one foreign country, let alone seven so far. Not to mention audio rights to Random House!
Still, as a veteran of the publishing industry it’s interesting to me to see how much alike and different publishing abroad is compared to publishing here in the United States. I’ve been so impressed with each companies approach and enthusiasm. But in particular my German publisher Klopp has been amazing. They’ve designed a beautiful cover, they’ve had me do a video interview and they’ve created a super cool book trailer! Which you can watch! Right here! On this blog! Isn’t the Internet amazing? Thanks Al Gore!

I can only tell you that it’s beyond thrilling to have all of these companies so excited about my book.
I’ve mentioned earlier how much buzz is building for THE YOUNGEST TEMPLAR: Keeper of the Grail(on sale September 18th and now available for pre-order at most online booksellers I’m just sayin’) and it just keeps going. So I hope you’ll watch the trailer a few dozen times, email a link to a few hundred friends and then circle the date September 18th on your calendar!
I’m just sayin’.
Peace. Out
