My novel Semiosis is now on sale in Spain, published by Dolmen Editorial. This is exciting because I used to live in Spain and still have a lot of friends there.
I’m also excited because the translator is Rafael Marín. He’s an award-winning speculative fiction writer, and he was key to the genre’s revival in Spain with his 1984 novel Lágrimas de Luz. I think his prose skills are among the most masterful in the genre, and I can’t wait to see his rendering of my words. I’m sure I’ll sound amazing.
Better yet, I’m going to Spain this summer! I’ll be at the Celsius 232 (Fahrenheit 451) festival of science fiction, fantasy, and horror in Avilés, July 16 to 20. Avilés is a city in Asturias near the Atlantic Ocean, and the festival is held near its medieval center. I’m going to see so many friends there! And I’ll eat some fabada asturiana, a gastronomical treasure of the region.
Then, I’ll be in Madrid, where I’ll present the novel at Secret Kingdoms bookshop, probably on Friday or Saturday evening, July 26 or 27. I’ll get to see more friends!
I miss Spain so much.
