Hello readers!

I wanted to update you on some exciting news. Foxcraft: Книга 2. Дикая магия is now out in Russian with Azbooka, translated by Tatyana Golubeva (http://azbooka.ru/book/26907.shtml). I’ve heard from wonderful Russian readers about Foxcraft. Книга 1. Зачарованные and seen some amazing fan art in Foxcraft communities. Thank you so much for the support. I really hope you enjoy the continuation of Isla’s adventures 

Foxcraft, Tome 2 : Les anciens is also out in French with Wiz, Albin Michel, translated by Nathalie Serval (http://www.albin-michel.fr/ouvrages/foxcraft-tome-2-9782226392381). When I finished the draft book, I went to France in order to relax and celebrate. I spent a magical week in the Languedoc region, taking in the landscape and reading about the dramatic local history. I’m thrilled that Isla is continuing her French adventure. Vivre les renards!

Excitingly, the series has just debuted in beautiful Brazil! Foxcraft 1: A Magia da Raposa is out now in Brazilian Portuguese with Rocco Jovens Leitores, translated by Debora Isidoro (http://www.rocco.com.br/livro/?cod=2850). It is making me think a lot about Brazil, and the phenomenal trip I took there some years ago – one that led me through the Pantanal wetlands, the Amazon Rainforest, the magnificent Iguassu Falls and cultural, diverse, energetic Rio. I saw crab-eating foxes in Brazil – not a variety you can see in the UK! Perhaps one day I will return. Dreams are the beginning…

Stay safe, foxes.

Happy malinta!

Malinta is here, when day and night are of equal length. It is a time of magic for foxes. For humans too! This malinta is the vernal equinox, the beginning of the ancient Babylonian calendar, marking the count down to Passover and Easter in the Jewish and Christian faiths, and numerous other events, beliefs and traditions across the globe.

Among these beliefs is that, in the northern hemisphere, the vernal equinox marks the start of spring. Bulbs quiver to life beneath thawing soil. Songbirds trill to welcome the earlier mornings. Butterflies unfurl their delicate wings.

Whether you are touched by warmth or shivering against the cold, I hope that this equinox – this malinta – brings you the magic of a new season, a new sun.
