After a little wait, my French version of the Girl and the Moon, translated by Nadine Widdowson, has hit the shelves! The book is available from the CreateSpace eStore: https://www.createspace.com/5362957 and http://www.amazon.co.uk/petite-fille-Lune-Bella-Woodfield/dp/1511920653, and will shortly be available to buy from http://www.amazon.fr/petite-fille-Lune-Bella-Woodfield/dp/1511920653
