They aren't doing so well and they are short of editors. There is much more behind it I am afraid. Anyways, I haven't gotten any money out of it and I have been made to wait like 1.5 years. So now I demanded at least half of the advance. Luckily they agreed. Apparently according to a lawyer, if they had refused... it would have been my bad for not demanding it sooner.

Anyways, at least I get a free trip to Lisbon. Paid by paperback that never was.

Anne how is it going with submitting the book elsewhere? don't the publishers who published it own the rights now?

From another thread because I am getting senile..

Nothing to report but I did get half of the advance as a sort of.. 'there there'. And I still have the rights, they said I am allowed to offered it elsewhere.

Blah, don't feel like it.

I did get one reply today but it came so quickly, I pretty much think they did not even read it. I know most publishers hate vampires right about now. lol.

A small (paper) publisher has contacted me and we have started "the talk". Let's see what happens with this.

Description (sorry about the roughness but I am no translator)

Blood Brothers start an historical vampire saga. The vampire nation is in turmoil as rebelling vampires have started a war against the ruling vampire.

Blood Brothers introduce 3 brothers from Southampton: John, Michael and Christopher who have already faced the difficulties of life. After parent’s death, two live in poverty while the third has been adopted to a wealthy family.

Life in the 17th century is brutal, cold and dirty but an mysterious gentlemen takes an interest towards the oldest brother and nothing will remain the same. The transformation from petty mortal to a brilliant immortal is miraculous yet not without problems. How will the Chosen ones adapt to their new roles and already determined path. Blood Brothers is filled with action and events, its frame big and ambitious. Its centered on vampires and their psyche.

Blood Brothers is strongly part of international vampire genre but [author] shakes it into a raw form. Gone is the age old dust and recent weight of teenage romance.

I want to read this, but you said you weren't hopeful about English translation as yet?

Not much happening on this front sadly, but my publisher just told me that this Finnish version can now be bought from Ibooks US, Sweden and Canada.
