Anne,
I just signed a contract with Pascal Galodé éditeurs, for the French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Greek language rights to my debut novel, How the Strong Survive, (March 2007, Rockway Press), with first option rights on all my subsequent novels. Mr. Galodé wanted all the remaining language rights to my books, and asked if he could be my exclusive publisher for all languages. We are still negotiating the future terms, including film rights to my novels.
Who is he? Until October 15, 2007, Mr. Pascal Galodé was the "la tête de la maison d'édition d'origine monégasque" (head of the publisher) Le Rocher -- last press account: 550 titles in 2005.
In June 2007, the Pierre-Fabre group completed the acquisition of Le Rocher, and four months later, brought in their own executive, Vincent Wackenheim, to lead Le Rocher, forcing Monsieur. Galodé out. Being too vigorous to retire, he formed a new publishing company, Pascal Galodé éditeurs, in Saint-Malo, France. Only four months old, this new house already has eight titles, and more in production.
Mr. Galodé's interest in my novels certainly says something about the quality of my writing. I am in awe that How the Strong Survive is chosen as the first (and only) book to be translated in 2008 by this intrepid company, led by one of the most distinguished players in European and the global publishing industry. I trust that M. Galodé is right in selecting HTSS, and that it will meet his expectations as his editions are released throughout the EU.
Wow! You certainly are evolving quickly in the cyber-realm! Just the other day you left France where you had dialup, and returned to Germany where you have broadband, and now you are back in France with broadband. I hope that your commute in between is short so that you can get time to write. This flitting back and forth may allow you to avoid your real friends, but your cyber friends--like me--are there, wherever you connect. This begs the question, can cyber friends be real friends? ;-)
Wow, Newt! Quedlinburg? For sure!
Actually I'd feel much better nowadays if I had studied mathematics (the fat amounts of money I earn or owe) and theology (believing is a gift) - actually I held a -sermon? we call it predigt - in a protestant church a while a go... And crime novels are just another chapter of the bible, isn't it? *gg*
Tell me more about your amazing career... Why the combination of the two? (I found it irresistible, then and hence...)
Well, Hugo - Hug or not... it's an idea... he sold quite a lot of books....

Your life is even better than the bio story. Since you are so hip and wonderful, I hope you will let a mathematician / theologian who turned to crime novels still hang out with you.

Does that mean you are a religious follower of Victor Hugo? ;-)

Alas, not this year...
But when we do Goslar, we must also try to see Quedlinburg, yes?
Dear friends, the great big lot of you -
do you remember a thing called "modem"? Yes, it still exists! At least over here in France, where I don't have fast access to the net.
So excuse me for answering not everyone of you...
Dear Newt, this biography you quoted is a fake. I enjoyed myself immensely when I first invented it nearly 10 years ago. But since then I had my coming out (yes, Anne Chaplet, the famous Huguenot, is not my real name). I admit to having, alas, studied history and politics... and that's not all...
Goslar? It's a great place! When shall we meet...????
Dear Morgan, I do understand you being fed up with seeing every day what us tourists enjoy only once in a while... Still, Chicago was a great place to be.. and still is, I hope???
Dear Andrea, who knows???
Thank you all and see you soon.... Anne "The Fake" Chaplet
Ha! I had to write you as we have a lot in common. Well, now my hair is red and curly, not brown like in the picture--looks like yours too only longer. And I also weight-lift and really like it. My barbell has about 30 lbs on it now. Also, I had a foreign-exchange daughrer, Jopie de Keyzer from Breda, Holland. Geez. We're separated at birth, except I'm a lot older than you.
Hi Anne,
You mentioned the Loop. I see it almost every day. Lots of times there's so many people in the way I don't enjoy where I am. Probably because I'm always trying to get to work or to lunch or shopping, trying to fit too much into too little time.
"Anne Chaplet wurde 1958 in Kiel geboren, studierte Mathematik und Theologie..."
We share a similar background, and now we share CrimeSpace as a foreground... After I get a few more novels under my belt, maybe we can compare notes. I know a great place for Kaffee und Kuchen in Goslar. ;-)

Color me humbled, in shock and awe.

You seem to have quite a sense of humor :-))) I know Frankfurt a little bit. I have a sort of adoptive "Oma" on Fahrgasse. :-))

Choosh!
