Why is there no German paperback version of this beautiful story? I refuse to buy the hardback and would rather read the English paperback then but I'm scared of me not knowing the translations for details like scents :(

I don't know why there isn't a German paperback -- every publisher does their own thing and often I am not privy to their thought process. It is tricky with translations, too. Every time I receive a foreign copy of one of my books I find myself wondering what story is actually inside it, because it can't be exactly what I originally wrote...but maybe that is part of the creative process? The same thing happens every time a reader reads a book -- it goes through the filter in their minds and becomes whatever makes sense to them...

I too, so enjoy your work. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to dream and escape (which seemingly is more necessary...sigh). I am hoping you'll share your work place set up. PC or MAC? Desktop or laptop? Are there any software writing programs you particularly like? I am setting up my office to take my amateur writing more seriously, but am very green as to what "tools" might be useful. Thank you, Erica...
