Piemme will be releasing The Sound of Butterflies in Italian very soon. It translates as The Music of Butterflies, which is quite lovely, I think. It is now also available in Greek as Ο ψίθυρος της πεταλούδας.

Rachael is appearing at the Wordstock Festival in Portland, Oregon, on November 8 & 9.

Rachael is now the 2008 Ursula Bethell Writer in Residence at Canterbury University until March 2009! She hopes to get her next novel finished in that time. No, she will finish it in that time.

Rachael is a guest blogger on the Picador website, and is also blogging about life, writing and books at her own personal blog www.soundofbutterflies.blogspot.com.

The Sound of Butterflies was released in the U.S.A. on September 18. Look out for it! It is published by William Morrow – for more information go here.

The book has received many positive reviews from various critics including Book Page, U.S.A Today and The Washington Post.
