Because the last post already had landed in your feed reader before I could do anything about it, her my apologize for setting it on hold.

To late I discovered that the poll plug-in isn’t compatible with newest version of WordPress. There are many discussions and work around in the forums but nothing solves the problem so far. Even after trying everything out for hours.

The only thing I need is a poll plug-in that does what it’s effing supposed to, without me running through all the code by myself.

A simple poll in a post. Just easy as that. If any of my dear readers knows such a plug-in, please let me know!

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Again I’m very curious about your opinion. With your vote on this poll you can let me know what you think.

The second book I wrote in the Dutch language is my epic, literary thriller LOSER – Director’s Cut (570 pages). As you can see, the title doesn’t need to be translated anymore. Maybe you wonder why I didn’t decide to use the Dutch translation as it is a book in the Dutch language. The reason is that the term loser is often used in Holland, just as Director’s Cut is. Just as easy as that.

I translated the back flap of the book (Ilaria Papini revised it and transformed it into understandable English), so you can see if you like it. My simple question is again: Would you read this book if it were available in English after reading the back flap?

LOSER – Director’s Cut

After a bank robbery gone bad Andrew Williams, the title’s loser, sits in Detroit Prison and waits for his trial. Andy believes the only acceptable outcome is the death penalty. His greatest wish is to be executed.
In a touching, absurd, and often funny style Andy’s oppressive life story is told through a series of flashbacks. Having raised himself, Andy eventually gained the support of an American with Italian background, who introduced him to Detroit’s nightlife and to the world of money and prostitution. In spite of the lush lifestyle to which he has been introduced, Andy still yearns for unattainable love, respect and wealth. In his pursuit of these goals Andy endangers not only himself but also his best friend, Snake.
Now, as he awaits prosecution, it all seems to be catching up to him: not only his past, but also the truth.

Thank you very much for your input!

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?)
