I am very curious about your opinion. That’s why I will start a little poll to see what you think.
Ilaria Papini from Turtlehaus was so kind to interview me and publish a pod-cast on her website. (I hope you don’t feel tortured when you hear my poor English, as I have no build in spell-check, lol). As some of you know now or knew beforehand, I wrote two books in the Dutch language.
As you can imagine there is a big difference between writing a blog post that sounds pretty much English and translating a whole novel from one language to the other. I can’t do this by myself yet, as I am too far from a native level. The only thing I translated properly, I guess, is the text on the back flap of my book. So what I’m asking you, my dear reader, is the following question (you can answer with your vote beneath): Would you read this book if it were available in English after reading the back flap?
THE ORDER BOOK
Jack Acers is the head of the IT-department at P&S Steel in Detroit. Quite a good job, if there wheren’t his frustrations: he feels underpaid, loses his savings on the stock market and he is in love with his much younger trainee Amber. As if this isn’t enough, his boss, Martin Farlain, is refusing him a pay-rise.
One day Jack receives a telephone call from his mental mentor Jorgo, which he hadn’t contact with in years. His friend is meanwhile successful active on Wall Street. During a visit Jorgo explains Jack how easy it is to earn his lost savings back. Jack is more then lucky when he notices that with Jorgo’s plan also Martin Farlain can be punished.
The two friends manipulate the order book of the stock market and the flow off money begins. Finally Jack can afford all the luxury he think he deserves. Also his love-life takes a positive turn. But when Jack in the early morning of September 20 2003 awakes on a beach, the tide is turning. Jack is just one mouse-click far off from hell.
I’m very curious about your opinion and when there is enough interest I will look for the possibilties of translation and will publish it at least on Kindle.
Thank you very much for your vote.
See you soon, I have to produce some corpse-video’s (remember?)

Well, I’d read it, definitely!!
*kisses*
Thank you so much!
I will try to translate the back flap of my second book as well.
I want the Dutch version of this book!
