Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage – coming soon to… Armenia?
I’ve just learned, by way of a hard-to-read royalties statement from the publisher who took over my book after the original publisher went out of business, that the foreign/translation rights have been bought up by an Armenian publisher called Gruppo Editoriale Armenia.
