I am turning this blog into a book!

Dear Blog Readers,

Both of you might have noticed that my blog entries have been less and less frequent. Well, the reason for that is two fold: I have had (some) translation work (i. e. my day job), and I am writing a book. As of today, my posts on this blog will be extracts or perhaps partial amounts of the material I plan to include in the book. As for previous posts, I am going to revise, expand, and renew them so that I can include them in my book. The title will be the same "I Married a French Woman and Other Horror Stories", and I plan to include some illustrations drawn by your truly.

Further information regarding where and when the book will be available so one or perhaps both of you can buy it, will be forthcoming once my publisher "Untreed Reads" has put it into Ebook form.

BTW, my second detective fiction, "The Minister's Secret", featuring the fearless Guillermo Lombardo, is due to be published this month. It will be available in my publisher¿s web site www.untreedreads.com as well as in Amazon and a gazillion other outlets. (Note to reader number one: if you do buy my book, be sure to buy it from my publisher's web site because they give me more royalties than those pirates at Amazon!).

Another bit of news is that "An Inconsequential Murder" was published in Spanish last month. "Un Asesinato Inconsecuente" is also out there via the same outlets. And, I am in negotiations with a French publisher (Oh, la, la, la, la! Ces cours m'errerdent! (Those things bore me stiff-)) and will soon be published in French as well.

In conclusion, I will soon post "Le Vide Grenier" (Literally Empty Barn but loosely translated as garage sale or yard sale). It is about my experiences and impressions of the recent attempt we made to rid ourselves of some of the thousands of useless, old items we have in various rooms and the garage of the house.

Right, so stay tuned. I will soon post it.
