World Famous?


I am signing a contract for Turkish editions of Blood and Chocolate and The Silver Kiss. Who would have ever guessed?

That's Turkish Delight up top in case you didn't know. It always reminds me of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I borrowed the picture from The Tum Tum Tree which has an amusing short post on making this candy.

The country Turkey looks like this:



There's going to be a German edition of Blood and Chocolate, too.

That is so exciting. I'm one of those devoted fans of Blood and Chocolate, I've bought three copies in the past three years and own none of them! I've given them all away! I shipped one to a soldier in Iraq, he loved it. I try to share all good books, so I think this is wonderful!

can you please please please PLEASE write another book for blood and chocolate, im begging you to. i think there has to be more to it than that, i looked on your website to see if there was another on but there wasnt. i abloustely love the first one i check it out at my school all the time reading it, when i get to the last sentence i just imagine about a second book, but nobody else can write it i love your settings and vivians attiude, the five's sportmanship for vivian when she is stuck in between and i ABLOUSTELY love gabriel. im sure other blood and chocolate fans would want to know more and read more about all of them. and if you dont that would be a big disappoiment for me and your fansi love this book more than anyother book in the world. think about your fans.

from your fan amelia salem, OR

I wish I could write another and please all those who have asked, but I just haven't come up with a decent idea yet. One of the reasons I may be stuck is that to have a story one must have conflict, and that would mean messing with the life Vivian and Gabriel have found together. Could I be that evil? LOL Maybe I should try harder.

Hi, Leonardo!

I'll tell my agent. Maybe your enthusiasm will convince a Portuguese publisher to give it a try.
Thanks!

Annette said...

Wow! Sorry rainbug--I suck at responding to comments on time. After you were so nice, too. That's totally cool that you sent one of my books to a solder in Iraq. I hope it helped him escape the stress for a while. Thanks so much for appreciating my work.

Hey Annette!
I agree with the comment about a sequel to "Blood and Chocolate"!
Can you PLEASE write another??
Im absolutely begging!
And yes! you can be that evil. LOL
I just think there is defintely more to it! Promise me you'll think about it??
All relationships come across conflict so you could definitely write about that? I dont know but it would be great if you can carry on from the last bit of the book (even though it came out 13 yrs ago)
Anyway Love your book, Big fan!!

Annette said...

LOL I'll try.

For Blood and Chocolate 2:

Maybe add a new conflict? Maybe add that vampires are living near the pack, attacking humans and shifting the blame unto the werewolves or something.

Or add a new chapter or two to Blood and Chocolate. Since your pub re-released A Silver Kiss, maybe the can re-release Blood and Chocolate with a new ending.

Will you have a new, full-length novel coming out soon?

A fan in Texas.

Hey,

I just wanted to say, as a vampire fiction fan, that it was a pleasure to translate your book into Turkish :)

Love,

Annette said...

Wow! Thanks so much, Ezgi! I appreciate your hard work. I'm looking forward to seeing the Turkish edition. I'll post a picture of the cover here when I get it. I am thrilled to be published in Turkey. I feel like I am making friends all over the world. *grin*

Hugs to you.
