Gamebook Friday: 20 Minutes

I appeared in the French press yesterday... Or rather my book Bloodbones did...Or rather a piece about the re-issue of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks (along with some new titles) in French, inspired by the release of Le Pirate de l’Au-delà, accompanied by Tony Hough's artwork.

You can find a link to a translation of the article here.

Imagine if you opened your copy of the Metro on the Tube one morning to find a piece about Fighting Fantasy...

Apparently the next FF book to appear in French will be Night of the Necromancer - or rather Nuit du Nécromancien!

Un Livre Dont Vous Etes Le Heros!

Le Pirate de l’Au-delà, (a.k.a The Pirate of the Hereafter, the French edition of Bloodbones) is released today!

Gamebook Friday: The Pirate of the Beyond

June 2012 sees the publication of Le Pirate de l’Au-delà, or rather the French edition of Bloodbones.

This is the most recent French translation of one of my gamebooks, the last being Knights of Doom (or rather Les Chevalier du Destin) towards the end of the 1990s, and I'm really excited to see what our Gallic cousins make of 'The Pirate of the Beyond'.

In other over-the-Channel-related news, Le Grimoire Publishing has opened an Art Gallery offering unique artworks by legendary gamebook artists Gary Chalk and Russ Nicholson for sale (including a number by Russ  from the FF universe).
