Brian Posted May 5, 2010 Report Posted May 5, 2010 Well done Markus! I think that makes it 5 or 6 published authors on the forum? So any chance of an English translation in the near future? Sounds like a great book. Have you done any books before this one? Brian Quote
Amon Posted May 5, 2010 Report Posted May 5, 2010 Hi Markus! Sounds very interesting! I also wonder like Brian if there will be any english translation of it. Best regards, Quote

Markus Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Posted May 6, 2010 Thank you all for your kind words. :D I´m thinking about an English version, but I´m already working at a new project (this time bilingual, English/German) at the moment. Maybe I could start in summer, let´s see... Keep you informed. Quote

k morita Posted May 20, 2010 Report Posted May 20, 2010 Hi, According to the table of contents on your book on AMAZON site,i am so glad because you are describing famous Tachi-sword of Hotaru-Maru (Rai Kunitoshi sword). This book might introduce about Hotaru-Maru to the European people for the first time.(?) Thank you for the description of the legend of Hotaru-maru and a sad history background. Quote
