German rights to A. Lee Martinez‘s Divine Misfortune sold to Piper Verlag, via agent Sally Harding of The Cooke Agency (World English rights previously sold to Orbit US, which will publish it in March 2010). The story “tells of an American couple who sign up with a minor raccoon god of fortune, Lucky, who’ll grant them everlasting luck and prosperity in exchange for a place to crash for a few nights.”
