Good Evening,
My name is Achilleas Theodoridis and I am writing to you from Thessaloniki. I read Forrester's THE GOOD SHEPHERD and I wonder why other books by the author are not published, especially the HORNBLOWER themed books (Napoleonic Wars / GREAT BOOKS / I have read all of O'Brien's books published on the same subject).
thanks

Good evening Achilles. Unfortunately these books are not commercial at all and the publisher usually loses money. Thanks for the communication.

Good morning, I would like to ask why you don't release the Books in order so that we can see the development of the character?

Good evening, the reason is that some title rights were not free. Thanks for the communication.

Good morning! After I also pointed out that it would be nice for the series to gain fullness after the stagnation in Greece since the closure of the previous publishers, I would like to ask if you plan to publish the "curse of the mayor" and "the princess and the pirates".
