After 6 weeks La Biblioteca dei Morti is still on all the top-ten lists in Italy. I just received my publisher's copies from Nord and it looks terrific. I have to admit it's nice to hold a hardcover edition. Good heft to it.

Turns out the Danish edition is in hardcover as well and its design is strong.

Off the Thrillerfest in NYC next week for a stimulating few days of learning from the pantheon of thrillerwriters, meeting and greeting. I've got a slate of galley signings, interviews and a (by-definition) once in a lifetime participation in the Debut Author's Breakfast. You're only a virgin once!

If you're going to be at the Hyatt for the conference, please seek me out for a chat.

Focused on the US debut of Secret of the Seventh Son on July 28. I haven't seen a finished copy yet but HarperCollins folks tells me it looks boffo.
