No, no, never mind... Let's just do this the easy way...

Hey, everyone! News! I Hunt Killers -- guaranteed to be the cuddly, heart-warming, feel-good novel of 2012 -- has just sold in Germany! Blanvalet (an imprint of Random House Germany) picked up the first two books in the series.

Am I thrilled? You betcha! My thanks go out to the folks at Little, Brown and Blanvalet, as well as the agents in the States and in Munich who made this happen. Sauerbraten for everyone!

It's very cool, by the way, to be able say, "Hey, I just got a message from a German agent." It made me feel like James Bond.

Great to hear that another series is on the way! Even if it is from a different publisher, which is actually also awesome.

So. Why Germany? ;D

I think you may be confused, Fanboy107. This series has already been bought by a U.S. publisher -- Little, Brown.* This is just a deal for the German rights. So, "Why Germany?" Because that's where you sell German rights. :)
