I'm pleased to announce that Kylie Chan's trilogy will be published heeeeere in the USA by Angry Robot, an imprint of Harper Collins.
If you'd like to see what I had to say about these books, the original entry (from 2008) is here:

And after several (dozen) re-reads, the only thing I can maintain is that there's something about the vivid setting, the characters as Ms. Chan imagines them, that makes them compulsively re-readable for me. They're almost as much of a guilty pleasure for me as Anne Bishop's books, or S. M. Stirling's post-apocalyptic science fiction, but they scratch that itch so much better for me.
I have Book 1 of the next trilogy, obtained at some expense from Australia, sitting on my TBR pile, awaiting my full attention.
