The books are SO beautiful - more than you can tell from the pictures. They're big, too, and they have dust jackets over soft covers. I love the art! This is Book Two - The figure in front with the eyes coming out in his face is obviously Baskania - but such a cool looking Baskania! I love the way his long fingernails are poised around Erec Rex. Notice Erec's hair - straight in front, and curly in back...!
This is Book One - check out Bethany's outfit!! It's hard to see here, but there is an awesome dragon curved around behind them. They're holding a scepter - very cool!!
Can't wait to see the art from more countries as it pops up! Here is the Thai version, they used the same artist as the American version. It looks SO cool, I love it -

Hey Atsuko -
Are you from Japan by chance? A friend who can read Japanese told me that was the way his name sounds in the translated version!

Nah, I'm not Japanese--but I've been studying the language for a couple years now. So yeah, I can read the Katakana and recognize some of the vocabulary--but that's all. X_X
So cool! I still hope to go visit there someday and the other countries where my books are coming out!!
If you were close I'd see if you could translate some back for me!

Yah, my friend's going over to Japan on a study abroad program and leavin' me behind. *shakes fist* >_> Heh.
Though...have you seen the insides of the Japanese versions? 'Cause I am curious. It shouldn't be that hard to read--usually they don't put as many kanji in kids books, or if they do have the kanji, they have the hiragana equivalent on top of the kanji character. (Kanji = those complicated chinese characters. A pain to memorize, that they are. X_X) Actually, that's what they did for those covers if you look carefully.
I have seen the insides of both books - I have the books! But I'm so clueless about Japanese writing I couldn't tell you what kind of alphabet they're using inside.
Send me your email if you like - you can send it to me through http://www.erecrex.com Author link, then click on "Talk to Kaza." If you want I can scan a few pages in and you can tell me more - sounds interesting to me!

Hope your friend has a blast. I have a friend going there too!

:3 For real? You would do that? Sweet! Thanks! I'll give you a holler through your site. Woo hoo!
Great covers! And I noticed that Book Three has a cover, too! Now my personal "hype machine" is getting warmed up!
Loved your books! Just read them! Can't wait to read the third!
Ha!
First, I was on twilightguy, which led to kalebnation, which led to you, and so I decided to try Erec Rex (his story sounded intriguing anyway). So glad I did.
Neat covers.
CONGRATULATIONS on the Simon and Schuster book deal! I wish Book 3 could come out sooner, but your books will finally get the attention they deserve. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this series could be the next big thing!
wow that's sooo cool I really love your books they keep me from boredom and insanity! can't wait for the next installments!
