Não temas a escuridão!

O Homem Pintado, the Portuguese translation of The Painted Man, went on sale yesterday! I am very excited about that. Portugal’s marketing campaign has been stellar. The publisher, Gailivro, created a TV and web trailer for the book that was fantastic, and meshed perfectly with the powerful cover art. They made awesome reversible demon t-shirts, and sent me a stack of books to sign for them to use as giveaways, giving me a couple of extra copies to give away myself.

So Portugal, I really hope you enjoy the book, and if the Portuguese out there make some noise, I’ll raffle off some signed copies!

  1. Hello, Peter. Guess I’m first to comment here. Oh, well.
    I just wanted to let you know I’m so in love with that cover… I’m from Portugal and the booktrailer caught my atention, so I can’t wait to read the whole story. I’m just waiting for a chance to get into a bookstore and buy your book.
    I hope it becomes a success in Portugal. 🙂

  3. Hey there, I saw the book at sale yesterday at one of the local bookstores and I have to say that I’ll be surely hooked to it once I get my hands on a copy, the cover is pretty cool and the editor as never let me down, but what caught my attention was of course the story, it’s very interesting and in my opinion a new breath on the fantasy genre.

    Aniway, thanks for writting these amazing pieces of literature, like Carla above said I too hope it becomes a hit here in Portugall.

    Best regards for you.

  4. Hi!
    I see the book a week ago, and I love the cover and the rest of it.
    So I bought it, and a week later I read it all! And I just wanted to say, that I just LOVE the book… it’s one of my favorites.
    So I just way until the second (it’s a second right?) is published.
    And I’m sure it will be a success in Portugal 😀
    Bye

  5. Hi Peat, I’m portuguese and I’ve just finished reading your amazing book. Once I started reading it, I just couldn’t stop. Once I finished, I found that I couldn’t wait for the next one to come out.

    Your book really is a must read and I am sure it will become a great success not only in Portugal, but all over the world.
