Daisy and Hazel are going to the Czech Republic!

I have some wonderful news to share this morning: Murder Most Unladylike and Arsenic for Tea have just sold to Albatros Media in the Czech Republic!

This is exciting enough on its own – it never stops amazing me that my books are travelling to countries I have never visited, and speaking to readers who I couldn’t say hello to without lessons. (NB: yes, I feel bad about this, and am trying to do something about it, starting with German).

But this is also a fairly special moment for the books: this deal is the tenth for Daisy and Hazel. My mysteries have been or will be published in North America, Taiwan, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Thailand, Poland, Japan – and now the Czech Republic. Which is particularly incredible!

So huge thanks to my agency The Bent Agency, who worked with Andrew Nurnberg Associates Prague to strike the deal with Albatros.

And here’s to ten more territories!
