German Digital Deal for My Mother’s Garden
I have good news; My Mother’s Garden (MMG) has been sold to Anja Leidel of KONO Design und Technologie GmbH for world German ebook right. KONO also optioned world German print and digital rights for the series.
It was a case of serendipity when I met Anja at the Frankfurt Book Fair during her very short trip around the fair halls. She was looking for illustrators and I took the chance to introduce myself and my books. I gave her a copy of MMG and two days before I return to Malaysia, she e-mailed me about her intention in translating my book to German and published it as e-book. I quickly jump at the opportunity and now the e-book is at its re-designing stage by Anja. The enhanced ebook with audio will be published before Christmas this year. It will be made available for sale at Apple’s iBook Store, and for the Google and Amazons Kindle devices.
Since it was first published in English, My Mother’s Garden has gone through a second print run and translated into Malay by Malaysian publisher Karangkraf. It has also been animated by Moker Taiwan and English digital rights sold to Perbadanan Kota Buku, Malaysia.

Collaborative Princess book
I’m back! There are so many exciting stories to tell and this is one of it.
With Malaysian Consul General to Germany, Adina Kamaruddin. She loves the Legendary Princesses of Malaysia and bought all copies that I had.
Oyez!Books and I collected more than 20 stories for my upcoming new collaborative book—of legendary princesses from around the world—at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year.
Oyez!Books, represented by Linda Tan Lingard at the fair presented the list of countries below:
- Belgium
- Bulgaria
- Canada
- Chile
- China
- Egypt
- Estonia
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- India
- Indonesia
- Iran (Persia)
- Korea
- Netherlands
- Philippines
- Romania
- Serbia
- Singapore
- Switzerland
- Thailand
- Turkey
- UAE
- UK (Wales)
- Vietnam
Stories and legends of princesses were collected from people who dropped by my table at the Malaysian stand. In some cases Linda went and asked at different country stands especially at Hall 5.0 where the international publishers were.
The next step will be to follow up with the contributors for the full story, background and image references for me to illustrate the book.
Many people at the fair loved the idea and all the more when they saw my illustrations in Legendary Princesses of Malaysia. In addition, a Spanish publisher has expressed interest in a co-edition.
Submissions and contributors were accepted only during the fair but all other queries may be addressed to: lindalingard@yusofgajahlingard.com.
