Well, maybe not “big.” But I’m in<\/em> Japan! Rather, my books are. Rather, HEAD OVER HEELS<\/a> is.<\/p>\n

Last week, I received a pleasant surprise. A registered letter containing a royalty check for the first Manga (Japanese comic book) print run of HEAD OVER HEELS<\/strong>. This was on top of the advance I received nearly two years ago. Which means the first print run earned out the advance\u2014and then some. You could have knocked me over with a toothpick.<\/p>\n

A day later, I received a registered package containing my author copies. And I love them! I only have a handful, and they’re going to immediate family and moi. I must keep track of myself for posterity, you know. People have been asking me where they can buy the Manga version of HEAD OVER HEELS<\/strong>. The only place I know of is Amazon Japan<\/a>. Yep, check it out, I’m there all official-like. And, well, I’m pretty sure the comic is also available in bookstores in<\/em> Japan.<\/p>\n

If I ever find out the Manga version of my first book is available in North America, have no fear, I shall scream it from my blog. In the meantime, enjoy these photos (if you look real close, you can see my name on the back cover\u2014the second photo).<\/p>\n

It was such a rush “reading” my book back to front, seeing the Japanese characters and the wonderful illustrations. If I had more than 3 copies left to my name (after giving away the others to aforesaid family members), I’d crack the spine of one and scan a couple of inside pages. But I don’t have more than 3 copies left to my name, so I’m not going to destroy ANY of them for the sake of the blog. You’ll just have to take my word that the illustrations match up to the story. I have no idea if the text does, though, because I can’t read Japanese.<\/p>\n

This is such a thrill for me, because this sale to Ozhora<\/a> is another testament that HEAD OVER HEELS<\/strong> is The Little Book that Could.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
