I suspect that every author has a list of hopes and dreams for their books. For example, I would love to see my one of mine in an airport bookstore. I mean, I’d love to see them in any bookstore at all, but for reasons that I can’t really explain, the airport bookstore feels like an especially high bar. Probably because the titles you see there tend to be super mega ultra bestsellers, and, well, who wouldn’t want that?
But another goal for me was translations; I desperately wanted to sell foreign language rights to one of my books. And two years ago, the lovely folks at Queen Edizioni bought the rights to Chick Magnet and Funny Guy, and Chick Magnet is going to release on April 22, 2025: the same day that Bold Moves will appear in English.
Isn’t the cover for the Italian translation gorgeous? It’s so bucolic, and I adore that they kept the pink and yellow cover scheme from the English-language version.
Anyhow, if you read in Italian, you can preorder Chick Magnet for Kindle here.
