Devir to publish “Fortuitous Meeting” in Brazil

I’m pleased to announce The Elephant and Macaw Banner’s latest partnership.  Devir has agreed to publish “The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara” in Portuguese for the Brazilian market!

The novelette will appear in the pocket book Duplo Fantasia Heroica (Heroic Fantasy Duo), along with a novelette by well-known Brazilian author and editor Roberto de Sousa Causo. Here’s a sneak peak at the cover:

The pocket book is one of the first in a new collection being launched by the editor, along with Duplo Cyberpunk (Cyberpunk Duo), which contains a story by Bruce Sterling.

Devir is a publisher of RPGs, Books, Comics, Board Games and Miniatures in Portuguese and Spanish markets around the world.  They are official distributors of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, among other products.  They have offices in Brazil, Chile, Portugal, Spain, and the U.S.

I’m extremely honored to be working with them on this project.

Video of WFC reading

The amazing Al Bogdan taped my reading of “The Forituitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara” at the World Fantasy Convention last week.  It was my first-ever reading, and in my allotted thirty minutes I made it through half the story.

For size reasons, the video is split into three parts (at the scene breaks).  You can see part one here:

Or watch all three parts at The Elephant and Macaw Banner YouTube channel.

Hope you enjoy!

The Elephant and Macaw Banner on TV

The Elephant and Macaw Banner was featured on Brazilian national news last week.  It appeared on “Leitura Dinâmica”,  a program which passes every night on RedeTV!, one of Brazil’s largest television networks.  This marks the first time the series has made an appearance on television.

You can watch the video below or see it in full size at the new Elephant and Macaw Banner YouTube channel.

For those who don’t speak Portuguese, everything past the first twelve seconds shows images from the series.

And for fans of the series, more good news is coming soon!  Please stay tuned.
