Os dejo la respuesta que he recibido al mandar el e-mail al escritor (como escribí en la otra entrada, se recibe nada más mandarlo). Está en inglés, en unos días lo traduciré.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for writing to me. If you wrote to tell me you enjoy the books, well, I’m glad to hear it and I thank you.
I’m gone back to an auto reply because at least half the emails I receive ask one of the following questions. So I thought I’d answer them here and save myself having to type the same answer over and over – which becomes tedious.However, I do promise that I still read all emails I receive and if you have a question that isn’t answered here, I’ll get back to you individually.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I DON'T APPRECIATE CHAIN LETTERS AND MULTIPLE ADDRESS EMAILS.
There is a warning about this on my website. I don’t like receiving chain letters, which I think are moronic, or messages sent to a person’s entire mailing list. Multiple-address emails expose my site and my address to people I don’t know and whom I never chose to contact. There is a risk that someone could send me a virus and I take this risk very seriously. In future, anyone sending a chain letter to me will be black listed immediately. People who send a message to their mailing list, including me, will get one warning.
Okay, now for the FAQ’s.
WHY ARE THE BOOKS RELEASED IN AUSTRALIA BEFORE THE USA?
Because they were released here first. I’m an Australian. The books were on the market here for over a year before the American publisher began releasing them so Australia has a head start. The two publishers have different schedules , which tends to exacerbate the situation. I have no control over this.
WHEN WILL BOOKS 5-9 BE AVAILABLE IN THE USA?
Book 5 will be out in the Fall of 2008. Book 6 will come out in the Spring of 2009. Books 7 , 8 and 9 will all be published in America but I don’t have a schedule for them. You could try asking Philomel, my American publishers.
CAN YOU BUY THEM ONLINE?
If you google "Australian Bookstores" you will find a selection of retailers who stock the books. Most of them will sell on line or by mail order. Be warned that postage is expensive. ARE THE BOOKS THE SAME?There are very minor differences between the Australian and American versions. Mainly spelling. And yes, the Australian books are written in English.
IS THERE GOING TO BE A RANGER’S MOVIE.
There is one currently in preparation. But unfortunately it's just hit a snag and been delayed. I'm hoping it will go ahead but I don't know when it will happen. And that’s about it. Once again, if you simply wrote to tell me you enjoy the books, thank you so much. I’m flattered and I’m always delighted to hear from readers – except the ones who send me chain letters.
Best regards,
John Flanagan.
