And then there was six!
German publisher, Bertelsmann Jugendbuch Verlag, has just made an offer on Magic or Madness and Magic Lessons and I’ve said, “yes, please!” That’s the sixth sale for MorM (after the USA, Australia, Taiwan, Thailand & France) and the first for Magic Lessons. I am the happiest of happy little vegemites!

I’d like to thank my foreign rights’ agent, Whitney Lee, and my parents (thanks Jan!, thanks John!), and my little sister for being there to tell stories to, and I’d like to thank my third grade teacher, Miss Parsons, for always believeing in me, and my fifth grade teacher, Mr Nasty Bum, for being such a bloody buggery bastard I decided to go on and conquer the universe just to spite him, and—
