The Heir of Night is being published in The Netherlands by Luitingh Fantasy as Kind van de Nacht—and will be on sale today as an e-book, with the hard copy due in shops on Wednesday 20. This is a red letter day for me as it is the first time I have had any of my works, whether novel, poetry or short fiction, published in translation.

So what should I do to commemorate this auspicious occasion?  Comment with your ideas—or just comment, this is a celebration so ‘da rules’ are flexible 😉 —and I will do a giveaway of 3 x sets of a signed Kind van de Nacht poster (A4 size), a The Heir of Night bookmark from Context, and a signed bookplate designed by PJ Fitzpatrick, to be drawn from amongst the commenters. The draw will close at midnight on Wednesday 20 July, NZ time.
