As odd as the online world is, sometimes the real world can be even stranger. Some time ago I wrote a book called Dark Storm Gathering. It was set in the Warhammer world, but with a slight twist – the setting was that used by the MMO Warhammer Online. It was a lot of fun to do, but as it’s been out for a while now, I wasn’t expecting to hear much more about it.
Which was why I was very surprised to get a note from Black Library a while ago with details of a Greek edition. I admit that I thought that this would be the English language version, just repackaged for the Greek market. That’s probably typical of an English-speaker – we just assume that everyone can get by in our uncivilised, guttural tongue. But no, it’s a full translation! I’m absolutely delighted – I’m an international author!
BL have put up some pics of the covers here. Needless to say, I’m very chuffed to be in the company of Nathan Long and Dan Abnett – fine master storytellers both. I hope they do very well. If there are any Greek readers of this blog – let me know what you think (in English, please – I’m afraid I wasn’t responsible for the translation).
