A blog about writing and my journey to publication. I'll probably mention cake from time to time.

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
I was chuffed to little mint balls - as we used to say Up North - to see that my novel has finally appeared on my German publisher's website. It's real. It's got pages. My name is on the cover. Okay, so it's not out until next September, but it exists and that'll have to do for now.
I called it My Future Husband, but the German interpretation is quite different and roughly translates as 'Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained' (I think!)
There's no hint of the time-travel contained within its pages, but I'm not complaining. Oooh no. I'm just really happy to see it.

Ooohhh how exciting! Love the translatation! Congratulations Karen!
It's wonderful. Congratulations!
"Sprechen die Deutsch?" means "Do the Germans speak?". I think most of them do. Certainly the ones I've met love to speak. "Sprechen Sie Deutsch" means "Do you speak German?", which I suspect is what the title should have been.
As for "Wer nicht küsst, der nicht gewinnt", I think it means "who doesn't kiss, doesn't gain". My German is very rusty, so I wouldn't trust my translations too much.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrer Publikation!
Weeeeeee! Chuffed to bits for you Karen. How exciting. Congratulations! Vunderbar!! :0)xxx
Oooh, that really is rather wonderful. And yes, I do speak a little German... Oh okay. Only O'Level millions of years ago...

That's great news! I wanna read the book but don't sprechen the slightest bit of Deutsch, beyond being able to ask for two beers please (which I can do in the language of every country I've visited, getting my priorities right!)
Hope for stratospheric German sales so some red-faced Brit publisher snaps it up.
VERY well done indeedy :-)
Congratulations!
Though I don't speak German that is one fantastic looking cover!!! I've also added the novels I saw on your profile to my growing list to read!! I'm a sucker for authors I meet in blogland!
How exciting, Karen. You have worked so so hard for this. Enjoy every minute.

Thanks everybody for your congratulations, they mean a lot :o) I'm trying not to keep looking at the website every five minutes!
Captain Black - thanks for correcting my appalling translation, which I'm tempted to blame on Google!
Anna May - You're very welcome - my words don't do it justice really :o)
I've only just seen this. How fabulous! :) xx
