Sookie Stackhouse breaks into even more markets

From Sfscope

Sookie Stackhouse books "are now selling in well over 30 languages." He reports recent sales in both new and continuing markets.

In new territories:
the first four books sold to Nha Nam in Viet Nam
the first five books sold to Lindhardt & Ringhof in Denmark "in a major five-figure deal"
the first two books sold to Forlagid in Iceland
the first two books sold to Gummerus in Finland
Dead Until Dark sold to Mettis Bukvarna in Slovenia

New sales in established markets:
books 3 and 4 sold to Baronet in the Czech Republic
books 7 and 8 sold to Leda in Romania
books 5 and 6, and the collection Touch of Dead, sold to Saraiva in Brazil
books 4 and 5 sold to Saida de Emergencia in Portugal

And, in a non-Sookie Harris sale, Santillana bought rights in Spain to the first two of the Lily Bard "Shakespeare" novels: Shakespeare's Landlord (first published by St. Martin's in 1996) and Shakespeare's Champion (1997)

Dead Until Dark (first published in 2001)
