A few weeks ago we were very excited to sign the debut novel by talented up-and-coming local author Steph Bowe. Well, now we can tell you—with further excitement, and a big congratulations to Steph—that her agent Ginger Clark from Curtis Brown (US) has sold Spanish rights to Random House Mondadori.

You may have already met the Melbourne-based Steph in the Twitterverse (@stephbowe), or read her blog, Hey! Teenager of the Year. She maintains a busy online life of letters, and is an amazingly talented young writer. The novel has the working title These Bones, and will be published in Australia and New Zealand in September 2010.
