Ah, makes sense then. Legolas Send a noteboard - 25/04/2010 09:34:27 PM
Judging by the various-language Wikipedia pages for her (that's an interesting tool for some things...), her series has been widely available, including in translation, in Germany for over ten years, while the French translation only started in 2008 and is three books in now. The Dutch page doesn't mention Wars of Light and Shadow at all, confirming my impressions. The Finnish one is interesting for me as learner of Finnish, but doesn't tell us anything other than that. ;)

But yeah, if there are issues with the American publisher too, that may explain why she's not talked about very often.

Eh it didn't really capture my interest. Her prose is difficult to read Dark Knight - 25/04/2010 04:29:08 PM 808 Views

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped. jh - 25/04/2010 08:45:27 PM 866 Views
Fair enough. Rebekah - 25/04/2010 08:48:53 PM 893 Views

About that flying below the radar of most readers... Legolas - 25/04/2010 05:10:40 PM 1060 Views
That's a good point. Chas - 25/04/2010 06:39:09 PM 917 Views
That's interesting. Rebekah - 25/04/2010 08:27:40 PM 902 Views
Probably something like that. jh - 25/04/2010 08:38:42 PM 871 Views
That seems unlikely, she is American after all... Legolas - 25/04/2010 08:56:53 PM 824 Views
It is possible for an American not to sell well in her own country. *NM* Rebekah - 25/04/2010 09:12:36 PM 362 Views
Nah, there has been something strange with her US publisher. jh - 25/04/2010 09:24:28 PM 829 Views
