Hi,
The Turkish Edition of Candara’s Gift, called Candara’nin Hediyesi, is now in print! It is being published by Erdem Yayinlari. They have done a great job with the cover, making it their own design but using my painting, which I was glad about. They have retained all my illustrations inside too.
It will be featured on Turkish TV and has had good reviews, so that sounds like an excellent start. I hope to visit Turkey in November and help with promotion.
The release of The Silver Well is still waiting for a publisher to take it up. I think, and hope, that it is close now. Publishers are reading it now and it just needs one to fall in love with it as so many readers have and then we can get rolling! This has tested my patience more than anything else!
In the meantime, thank you for your patience and I hope to bring you good news soon.
Jasper
P.S. Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think of the new Turkish cover!

July 17, 2009 @ 10:50 amHi Rhiannon & Charlotte,
Thanks a lot for writing and sending your ideas for a title for the book about Gordo. I will put them on my list and ponder… This book is very, very nearly complete – just a few small things to do and then a title. Certainly send me some more ideas if you think of any. My plans for next year not fixed at the moment… thanks for the compliment!
Keep a look out on my website because I am about to add more to it. More photos, including a picture of me as a baby!
If you take a look at Candara’s Gift, or read it, let me know what you think.
Best wishes,
Jasper
July 17, 2009 @ 1:25 pmHi Mr. Jasper Cooper!
Yes, I’m reading Candara’nın Hediyesi, again and with a good grace… And I will wait anxiously your The Silver Well. I have waited your second book (and etc.) so emotional. We hope, The Silver Well =Gümüş Kuyu is due to be published in Turkish soon, probably in the autumn… The translation has been done… very exciting!
Your sincerely.
