Evelyne, my jaw literally dropped when I read your post! That is superbly wonderful news! I was just going to do a blog this week talking about the new french-language translation of Once Bitten. So very glad you liked it!

My understanding is that Milady, who published the first book, is planning to translate at least the next two books in the series. Hopefully they’ll take off big in France and you’ll get a chance to read all eight (or more–who knows at this point??) but I think it’s wait and see at this point.

Thanks so much for touching base with me! Glad you had a sunny weekend as well!

What a wonderful news!! so I’ve just got to wait for the following books – not too long I hope ) now I know your site I come regurlarly and wait for your blog about the french translation of your book I really love -I hardly can’t wait for reading the end of the book- I’m not far yet – I do hope you understand my “english”.
all the best

I know just enough French to get myself slapped. Same with Spanish, German, and Gaelic.

I’m great to take to bars, but don’t expect me to be lady-like

LOL, Marissa!

I remember the studying days, Nikki. Hang in there–well worth it! I loved the first Twilight book. Got furious with the second and refused to read any others. Let my daughter tell me what happened. Really sorry to hear some jerk leaked her draft though. That’s a huge invasion for her as well as an attack on her livelihood. Wish they could catch jerks like that.

Your Sunday sounds lovely, Caitlin. As far as roast dinner cleanup goes, I generally don’t think any big dinner is worth the afterwork–unless somebody else has done all the cooking. And then I tend not to mind at all!

Sadly my weekend didn’t entail a whole lot of relaxation, though I really need it. Damn our weather getting more autumnish already and my body deciding that a cold is the right reaction to it! *shakes head*

Anyway, we’re getting a new kitchen – after our 35 year old one is WELL overdue an upgrade and so we spent nearly the whole weekend carrying heavy stuff around and cleaning, cleaning… cleaning! Oh well, I’m sure it’ll be well worth it once we finally get the new kitchen. And there’s still the next weekend in just… three work days that I hope will turn out to be more relaxing than the last one!

This weekend was spent between three things: Homework (Why did I choose Psychology and Latin? Why? I MUST be the masochist I am told I represent.), Real-world Work (CURSE the being who thought of waitressing as an occupation!), and finding “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” in Barnes and Nobles’. I have to say, a LOT of vampire novels tend to lean towards the cheesy or the simply moronic, but your book leans towards something else entirely, and to top it off, with a sarcastic finesse that I thought was hilarious. I am recommending it to my friends and put the rest of the series on my Must Read list. As soon as I get a Homework/Real-World Work Lite weekend, I fully intend on reading the rest of the series that is out. I applaud you, J Rardin, and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Wahoo, Kitty! You’re my kinda girl! And not just because you’re into Jaz (although, I admit, that plays a part). Also because I was a waitress for six years. Hey, it paid my rent all the way through college, so maybe it was worth the occasional nightmare I STILL have!

I’m liking your spoilage pretty well, Penny. Sounds like you’ve got it figured out!

Well as I am 11weeks preggie, my treat for myself was to crawl back into bed after only being up for one hour LOL When I did venture out of bed Melbourne put on a beautiful spring day and I spent it in the garden with Miss 2 and we dug for worms. Awsome fun.

I’m a new Jaz addict… I’ll have to admit. I randomly saw Once Bitten when I was walking through Borders, and I finished it the same night. I just finished reading the fourth book, (it took me 3 days to read all 4!) And now I’m chomping at the bit for the next installment. You truly have a gift Jennifer… fantastic reading!

Oh, and to stay on topic, I spent my weekend working to make sure that we were done in time for the September 15th tax deadline. (i.e. today makes 10 days straight working… is it friday yet??)

Sigh, well in Aus it’s still the weekdays, which is a huge bummer, especially for year 11 students- EXAMS!

Oh how I loathe studying; puts a downcast on your week. I only have Physics and Software to study for though, which is good. This weekend however is dedicated to reading on all the novels and stories I have missed out on! (Salvation shall be mine!)…and preparing for year 12 *shudder*.

And then next week I have this program called crossroads for 3 days, sounds boring but yeah (lol). I also have an assignment due on the last day of school! …(note to self: complete assignment on weekend)… Then finally THE HOLIDAYS!! Which means I can [finally] get BTD! Hehe, so excited.

Anyway this is just me procrastinating; I should really be studying because I don’t know anything about Physics, yikes!

But yes other than studying all of this week and the past one or two, my life has thus been dull and boring and my brain has gone into overload; it’s frying!

Oh and I’m so glad to here that Jaz and the gang will be in Sydney (well around anyway) in the 6th book ^^ AND congrats on the signage with Orbit, you now get to write 3 more books for your 110% devoted followers! Hahaha (excuse my behaviour if it seems too…quirky? I think I might be high on sugar, but what I proclaimed is true nonetheless!).

ANYWAY I think I hear the textbook calling me; apparently that is all I’m allowed to read until the end of tomorrow.

So good luck with all the writing, though you won’t need it, but all the same it’s the thought that counts right? (Sorry for such a long response, hehe) and hope you enjoy the rest of you week!

Hey, thanks, I need all the luck I can get! And my holidays will definately rock as soon as sink my err…eyes… into books, hahaha.

Aren’t kids awesome? My hubby (who teaches grades three through five) is always coming home with the best stories.

Amazon must be uber-efficient. I’m trying to think of what else I need to know four months in advance. Got it! The date of the season premiere of Torchwood. (Can’t wait! Who else thinks Martha is going to replace Owen as the new doc?)
