It’s a
whole new ball game for me. I have today signed a contract with my publisher to
have my books translated into German. The
Long Road to Sunrise will be the first one off the blocks.
Fifteen
years ago I went to Frankfurt to set up a training course for the Deutsche
Flugsicherung, the German ATC authority. I was impressed by the German
controllers’ competent standard of English. Far, far better than my minimal
understanding of German. Nevertheless, English is not their native tongue and
they naturally prefer to read books in their own language. When this
translation is complete they will be able to enjoy the first of my novels to be
published in German.
I feel
very excited by it.
Sprechen zie Deutsch? Nein, me neither.
