Recently I contacted the Humber School for Writers to see if the time was right to add 'genre writing' to their course list. The jury's still out on that one, but I was invited to speak as one of the school's 'success stories'.
Well, sure!
I've made a few forays into the world of literature lately, and I've been pleasantly surprised to be warmly received. So far, so good.
Oh! I'll be able to mention, when I speak on the panel, that one of my books has been translated into German. Yes! Wild Card was chosen from the Black Lace list by a German publisher. This looks good on the resume and in the bank account.
I admit I'm a little worried about the Q and A portion of my little talk. Still, with three novels (one translated into German) and lots of short stories to my credit, I can hold my head high.
Onwards!

Ooh, how exciting Mad! That's going to be wonderful! Let us know how it goes, eh?
Wunderbar! Do you know what the German title will be? Hmm ... I wonder if "wild card" translates, as an idiom, into German card-playing culture.
