I get a lot of wonderful emails. Thank you so much—to all of you. Many of you write to tell me how much you like my books or to ask me questions. And I’m always surprised when I get emails from Brazil, The Netherlands, Australia or other faraway places. They have read my books, or at least one or two of them, because they are released later in other countries. I still can’t believe my books have been translated into so many languages. It is so exciting when my publisher sends me a foreign cover for one of my books. You may have seen this cover of Born at Midnight from Denmark from my website Book page.

Earlier this month, a friend of mine was at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany and was kind enough to send me a few photos of my books on display there. What a thrill to see shelves full of Born at Midnight, or should I say Geboren um Mitternacht. I wish I could have gone to the book fair, but as I said in last week’s blog, I was a little busy finishing up Chosen at Nightfall. Oh well, there’s always next year….

My friend also sent me a close up photo of the German Born at Midnight cover, and the cover of Awake at Dawn, otherwise known as Erwacht im Morgengrauen. And just this week, another reader sent me the French version of Taken at Dusk. In France, it seems all of the books in the series are called Born at Midnight or Nes a Minuit, but are labeled books 1, 2, 3, etc.  I wanted to share them with you.

The foreign covers are all very similar to the US versions, but how are they different? If you look closely, you’ll see the subtle changes. Well, yeah, the German Born at Midnight cover is the same, but what about the others? So, do any of you speak German? How about any other languages? I speak Spanish.

To celebrate the upcoming release in Germany of Awake at Dawn, which I think is out in December, I’ll give a signed German copy of Born at Midnight along with a Shadow Falls bag and some other goodies to two people who leave a comment.
