Hurray! I've got mail!
And when I say that, I mean it quite literally. I received a kind email with a question. The question inquired about the other titles listed on Goodreads.
Since this marks the first email I've ever received, I thought, why not turn this into a topic or a post on Goodreads? After all, as far as I know, it's the only site where all my published titles are displayed.
The answer to the question is straightforward. I've already written back to the kind lady who reached out to me. Although, it just occurred to me that I forgot to ask her if she's read my memoir: The Broken Traveler.
But I don't want to seem pushy, so I won't write to her again.
What I firmly believe is that the 13 years it took for the story to mature, along with all the hard work and tears shed, will eventually be embraced by the universe.
Readers will discover the essence of the story, which I didn't write solely for myself, but more so for you.
Returning to the question (I'm still beaming from having received an email), as I mentioned, the answer is simple.
From 2008 until 2011, I was traditionally published in the Netherlands. My debut was a hardcore crime story called BMK. Strangely enough, the publication of that book led to a TV portrait, interviews in newspapers, magazines, and with all that attention, we believed we were off to a good start.
The second book is the only one that didn't make it to the National Library. Strange, isn't it? Because it's one of my favorites. And guess what? Yes, this particular story is the one we're working on to publish in the English language. I've just realized that this post is turning out to be a treasure trove of information.
The third book, titled Solitary Lock-Up: The Shanghai Connection, is a thriller with a few steamy sex scenes, but mainly focuses on a topic that years later became quite relevant.
And last but not least, Golf Wives is a book I wrote on commission. The copyright for that one belongs to somebody else.
So there you have it, my friends.
Clarification about the other titles.
A golden nugget regarding the next book... and hopefully, a nice story that will incentivize you to talk about The Broken Traveler. Because, let's be honest here, I still need a bunch more sales, and all this could be kickstarted with some nice reviews.
At your service and until next time, Hugo
