I’m from Toulouse, Southern France Épinal is lucky to have you visiting ! Thanks for the info on the translation, I’m not confident enough in my English to put myself into the original. Besides the work of Arnaud Mousnier-Lompré seems pretty good !

A visit in France, fantastic!!! and yet Epinal is too far away for me. I don’t know about David but I live near Poitiers (middle west) and unless I bundle up my toddler twins and journey with my adorable but challengingly lively batch, there is no way I can make it. Though, as I have said in an earlier comment that is still awaiting moderation (at least that’s what I’ve just noticed here) I’m a great fan of yours and have read them all. The best reads were during the pregnancy! What wonderful journeys I’ve been on lead by your writing even though I was bed bound. Now I have a question for you. I’m page 406 of The dragon Keeper and, unless I haven’t been paying close enough attention as I was caught up in the intrigue, it seems to me that food is not so much of an issue here. I remember that we knew all about Fitz’s hunger and his “plaisirs du palais” not to mention Nevare which was almost too much for me as I was trying to diet at the time but I haven’t noticed much of it in Dragon Keeper. Is that intentional? I really enjoyed reading about the character’s menus because it lent to sort of “true to life” aspect to your fantasy stories. It doesn’t keep me from tremendously enjoying this one though, I assure you. So, there it is, I was just wondering and have already taken too much of your time.

Oh, French translation and publication is not a trivial matter to me!!! As it happens, the contracts have been signed. There is no firm date for publication yet, as the work still has to be translated.

What part of France do you live in? I’ll be visiting Imaginales and Epinal in May of 2011.

Hello Robin

I’m sorry to bother you about trivia stuff, but I’m wondering if Dragon Haven will be translated into French ?

I can’t find any info on the Internet about it I’m a huge fan of your work ^^

If you’re aware of a release date or something, please inform me ! Thanks

It sounds like it’s been (and still going to be) a hectic few days.

Hello dear purveyor of fantasy, thrills and dreams, (how about that )

I so much wish that I could be there at the bookstores meeting you! I’m not only an avid reader of your books (read them all with delight) but also very curious concerning those rain wild items!

Have fun everyone and enjoy your day Mrs Hobb.
