Yesterday I went to my mailbox for the first time in a month, and look what was there! A HINT OF WICKED…in Japanese! It’s the cutest little book, very nicely made, with a dustjacket and everything!
I’m giving a copy away here, so if you read Japanese or know anyone who does (or if you just want to gaze at a really neat-looking book, lol), just respond here and I’ll pick one random winner at the end of the month.
Isn’t that cool?

That is too cool for words! I love the version of the cover — same theme as the US release, but different look!
I can’t read Japanese, but I would definitely look at it lovingly!

Such a lovely cover. And how cool to be a true internationally-known author 🙂

It must’ve been amazing to see. I’d love to use this to further my Japanese language studies! 🙂

Love it! That is so fun, can’t wait to see it in German and Gaelic!

The cover is lovely! It’s interesting to think that modern day Japanese people want to read about romance in Regency England.
I’ve never read a novel about the equivalent time period in Japan. I feel I’m lacking something.
I’m happy for you, Jennifer.

Gorgeous cover! I believe that they read left to right.
My daughter’s SIL just returned from a 2 year stint teaching English to HS aged Japanese girls. She loved the beauty of the country and the people. Anna is now living in Alaska! She did learn Japanese.
My daughter went over to visit Japan last summer and was amazed that there were no English street signs. My SIL is 6’4″ He had a lot of trouble with the small door frames and ceilings. Sleeping on floor mats was a strange experience too.

What a beautiful book! It’s fascinating that the girl on the cover looks modern (the dress particularly) for a Regency romance. But it’s gorgeous, so who cares?

Cool indeed!

Oh, that’s beautiful! Wow! I don’t speak/read Japanese, but I’d love to display such a gorgeous book on my shelf. 🙂

Wow, Jen, how exciting!! I supposedly have a Japanese version out there somewhere and I can’t wait to see my name on a book that I can’t read one word of. – – I think it will be thrilling in a weird sort of way. Gorgeous…but wow, I guess I don’t know my regency fashions…

I think the cover is gorgeous. And it ‘s a delight to think of books we love being translated and shared with women across the world.
