Hi Jamie Liao --
It is wonderful to hear from you and the other folks who like my books in Taiwan. I am tremendously honored and pleased that my books should be translated into Chinese.
I wish I could tell you which publisher has bought the right to translate Black Hawk into Traditional Chinese. But it is almost impossible for me, the author to discover this. I have put in a request for this information. If I receive the publisher's name, I will write you again and let you know.
When I sell my manuscript to Berkley Publishing, I sell them the right to translate my book. After that, I have no control over this process and I don't even see the contracts Berkley signs with overseas publishers. I usually don't even know a book has been translated until someone sees the foreign language edition.
It sounds as if the first three books had an excellent translator. I hope very much the new publisher has one as good. The translation is so important.
Thank you so much for writing. I do hope you enjoy Black Hawk and the book that follows, Rogue Spy.
Yours truly,
Joanna Bourne
呃 我也很好奇 這是怎樣的狀況 怎麼會有出版社從系列書中間買走版權的 QQ
誰??誰把肉粽串的最大肉粽買走了~~
這樣很怪~~不過如果買走了就有打算出版的話
真是太震撼了
換句話說~~RA這麼久了一直沒去買這本書呀???
那~~換家出版我也是很期待的
快出版吧
嗯……不是果樹拖著不去買（遠目），但細節也無法多談。
總之，只能說我們也很關心是哪家買下+遲遲未出了。
ㄟ~~ 不好意思，第一次在WRN浮出水面就是為了打廣告........
我是>的譯者路西雅，不知道買走The Black Hawk的出版商會不會看到這裡的PO文，倘若尚未翻譯也尚未決定要交給哪位譯者翻譯，可否考慮讓我試試? 自從譯完>之後就一直很期待安德和茱絲婷的故事，希望能有機會翻譯。
如果願意給我試譯的機會，請以電子郵件聯絡，非常感謝!! (也感謝WRN~)

我一直在等這本中文版，甚至也有先買英文版來供著…
早在101年7月我就寫信問果樹，當時他們回覆如下(原文轉貼)：
我們會出這本書，應該就在今年的下半年。
謝謝陳小姐長期的支持，請繼續支持，也請幫我們多宣傳這套書有多麼好看，我們才能繼續出更好看的書~謝謝唷~
看起來好像是已經買下版權且已經在譯了的樣子吧？所以我就一直等，以為是每月一、二本的扣達擠不上去的關係。去年再寫去問一次，他們就沒回了。現在突然說沒買到版權，那之前回覆的是假的嗎？
傻眼.........近期RA我最期待那本書了耶(淚)，只能說拜託拜託買走版權的出版社一定要出阿！！好好療育我們這些英文不太好的小粉絲吧！！
被買走了。先向果樹說遺憾；再跟路西亞小姐說：希望如您所願，能交給您翻譯！您譯得真好！
我有個疑問：果樹如何知道被買走的這本小說遲遲未出呢？所以早就知道被買走嗎？
這個繁中版權是賣給哪家出版社的問題, 寫信去問了作者本人(喬安娜在部落格上說, 她一定會回信) 她真的回信了, 以下是原信及中文(如有錯譯, 請告知)

很高興得知台灣有我的書迷，很榮幸也很樂見我的書被翻譯成中文。
我希望能告訴你哪家出版社買了The Black Hawk的繁中版權, 但這對身為作者的我, 幾乎是不可能的, 我已經去問了, 如果有消息, 會再寫信讓你知道。
當我將原稿賣給Berkley 出版社時, 也將這本書翻譯成其它語文的權利也一併賣給Berkley了, 之後我是無權控制這些外文版權的銷售過程, 也不會看到Berkley 跟國外出版社所簽的合約, 通常是看到書在市場上銷售後, 我才知道有哪些語文翻譯版本。
聽起來前三本Spymasters series的譯者非常好, 我希望新的出版社也能有一樣好的譯者, 翻譯是非常重要的。
感謝你的來信, 希望你喜歡Black Hawk 以及接下來的Rogue Spy

~So many books, so little time-Frank Zappa~買書如山倒，讀書如抽絲~
誰呀誰呀~~~快出版吧
希望可以交給原譯者~~
這樣才是一串完美的肉粽
我找到買下版權的出版社了，但不確定對方是否願意公開，所以不說是哪一家。
總之，編輯回覆說已經發譯，看來我遲了一大步
不過，我相信能獲編輯青睞的譯者肯定非常傑出，請大家期待喔~
最後感謝大家的支持，超感動~~~
嗯，雖然非常遺憾，但對買走版權的出版商還是有些無法理解
已經發譯~~所以會出版了???
雖然很遺憾沒有辦法看到原來的譯者繼續翻完整套書
但是還是很開心
原來的譯者也不要太灰心
你的功力很好~~我們很期待你翻譯的更多新作品啦
加油加油
人家也想看這本吔~ 是怎樣了，為何只聞樓梯響呢，版權不是也有期限嘛，如果有望付梓，希望接任的譯者大人，能延績前譯者的相關譯名。出版業真是高深莫測的行業啊
我已經等到發狂，火大到買下KINDLE去下載了英文版
目前只看了前面兩章
真的戲劇張力十足~~~
中文版啊~~~你到底是跑哪去了啊
