  1. I just subscribed to Clarkesworld, and the first story I read from the first issue I got (#137) was your short story, Deep Down in The Cloud. Just wanted to say that I enjoyed it–it was great!

    1. Thank you, Ben, I’m happy to hear that! I hope you’ve liked the whole issue and that you’ll want to continue reading both the magazine and my stories.

  2. Hi Julie

    Do I take it that all the works mentioned above in the fiction category are written ORIGINALLY in English, unless the word “translation” is specifically mentioned against them?

    So how many published novels originally written in English do you now have?

    And do you know other Czech novelists and poets who are writing originally in English?

    Thanks!

    1. Hi Prabhu,
      Thank you for the question! Translation is specifically mentioned in case of another author’s work. In case of my own, most of the stories were written originally in English, but I also translated some from Czech (e.g. Aeronauts of Aura). As to novels, I’ve published seven in Czech, but none so far in English – just approx. 20 short stories/novelettes and many articles. However, I’m working on it, and if all goes well, we might get to see my first novel in English sometime next year :).
      Lucie Lukacovicova and Tom Hadrava have also written some stories in English, and Jan Kotouč is getting his novels translated.
      All the best,

      Julie

  3. Dear Julie
    Thanks for your response to my earlier question.
    Whenever there are details available of the publication of your novel in English, could I trouble you to let me know?
    I would love to be able to review your novel in one of the media with which I am connected.
    Kind regards and best wishes
    Prabhu
