FEBRUARY 2018 EDITION

 

"“What are you doing?” I was overcome with curiosity.

“It is a game that Ysabeau and I play. When one of us is away, we leave messages hidden in the pages of books. So much happens in a day, it is impossible to remember everything when we see each other again. This way we can come upon little memories like this one when we least expect it, and share them.”


 Chapter 13, Diana and Philippe, Shadow of Night

FEBRUARY FAQ

Here's a roundup of this month's most frequently asked questions:

Q. Why can't we see A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES on US TV? 

A. We have wrapped filming and the show has moved to the edit suite.  It won't be on in the UK until the fall but no definitive date has been set.  When there is a US broadcaster, you can bet that it will be big news and I will repeat it via trumpets, semaphore, social media, and Morse code!

Q. Is [fill in the name of your favorite character here] in TIME'S CONVERT?

A. Probably. Characters in TIME'S CONVERT (aka "the Marcus book") include the twins, Gallowglass, Philippe (living and dead!), Marcus, Phoebe, Diana, Matthew, Miriam, and Ysabeau. Plus: FREYJA! You'll get to see who makes the final cut on 25 September, when the book goes on sale in the US and UK and their sales territories.

Q. But when will TIME'S CONVERT be published in [fill in the name of your country here]?

A. Publisher(s) in your country make the decision on whether or not they will decide to translate and publish the book in your country. You should contact the publisher in your country to let them know how much you would like to see it translated into your language. 

Q. What happened to THE SERPENT'S MIRROR? 

A. Nothing, really. I finished TIME'S CONVERT ahead of schedule.  Rather than letting it attract dust on my desk, we went ahead and got that ready first. Every day, I continue to work on THE SERPENT'S MIRROR. One day, I'll finish and send it to the publishers. How will you know? See my answer to first question about trumpets, semaphore, social media and Morse code. 

Q. Is it true you are going on tour in May?

A. Yes--my publisher is sending me out to promote the release of THE WORLD OF ALL SOULS on 8 May. The full details are on my website: http://deborahharkness.com/details-us-tour-world-souls/

Q. Why aren't you coming to [fill in the name of your city here]?

A. This is a short tour, but you'll get another chance to see me when the next tour for TIME'S CONVERT is announced, and when other public events are announced for May, June, July, and August in the next few months.    

Have a great week!

Love the All Souls Trilogy? Why not join us for the All Souls Con in August? We will be gathering in my home town Philadelphia, to discuss, explore, and discover with friends new and old. Philadelphia is a perfect site for the Con, with its associations with the American Revolution and Marcus's history before he met up with Matthew Clairmont. You'll be all prepped and ready for the publication of TIME'S CONVERT in September.

Our conference venue is the fabulous Science History Institute, which is in the middle of Philadelphia's historic city center. Tickets are on sale now (and going fast!) and include the option to purchase a $5 online streaming ticket to view all sessions where-ever you are. People who have streamed the event in the past have really enjoyed the experience, so if you can't make it to the City of Brotherly Love in August you can still take part in the event. Full details, and the link to buy tickets, are here: http://allsoulscon.org/tickets/
