French editions of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks by Jonathan Green

Just over a week ago, Curse of the Mummy was published in French for the first time, almost 20 years after it was first published in English. This means that all seven of my Fighting Fantasy adventure gamebooks are now available in French, with five of them currently in print.







Both Spellbreaker and Knights of Doom (my first two published books) have been published in two different French editions, and for some reason, the cover art was reversed from edition one to edition two.

Fighting Fantasy Fest 2014 and Howl of the Spanish Werewolf

This week I had a very productive meeting with Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone at which we decided to make the following public...


Fighting Fantasy Fest is the first dedicated Fighting Fantasy convention, featuring guest appearances by the co-creators of the world's premier gamebook series, artists who have contributed to the books over the years, and the official book launch of YOU ARE THE HERO - A History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks. You can register your interest in attending the con here.

When I arrived at the pub... I mean, our meeting... Steve had a rather nice surprise waiting for me - copies of the first Spanish translation of one of my gamebooks.

German, French and Spanish editions of just three of my fifty books. 

El Aullido Del Hombre Lobo is unusual because it is the first time I have been credited as Jon Green in any published work. Although I refer to myself as Jon, I always use my full name for published projects. This was something of a surprise, but then so was the publication of Howl of the Werewolf in Spanish. ;-)
