its' been a long time since I wrote my first novel and when I did, I never thought that I'd find thousands of readers. Some full of warm praise (thank you!), many happy, some sneering - well, that's life.

Working on the German translation I rediscovered my book after a break of nine years and - I'm biased, I know - I still like the story and the characters, they aged well, better then I did in fact :)

But I decided to edit and polish the original text, I think I learnt a lot during the past years and as the French Orphan is still very popular, no reason, not to make it even better.

So, coming soon: the German and new English edition. Be curious !
