You can't keep a good cat down

Holy Foreign Sales, Batgirl!

While looking up info for the new website, I came across a new German edition of Bewitching Kittens, the Halloween-themed Regency that contains my novella Charlotte's Kitten. (Side note: yes, Halloween and Regency England, I was as skeptical as you are when I was given the assignment.)

The English edition of the novella quickly earned out, and though Zebra didn't go back to press, they did sell German language rights. And the German language edition sold well. And kept selling. And they reissued it with new covers, and those editions kept selling. By my count they are on their fourth cover.

I just find it sort of odd that germans are that in to such a cute looking book. I mean its so...awwwww....

And it's Regency stories set around Halloween customs, not anyone's first guess for something that would be a hit in Germany (and Switzerland--one of those covers is from the Swiss edition.)

yeah - I dont normally try to buy into cultural stereotypes but I have to confess I am sort of head scratching on this one! But go for foreign sales!
