Die Zeit
and
Seduction

Good news from Germany about
Seduction.  I am really pleased that Seduction has been a real hit in Germany. In fact, the famous weekly Die Zeit, will issue a special crime series about twelve selected titles, one of which is Seduction. Each selection has a scientific background, e.g. mathematics, philosophy, psychology, linguistics, forensics, etc. For each book, the Zeit editors will contribute supplementary info material that relates to the respective scientific field and the genre of suspense literature. Die Zeit has published such one-time book series with a specific focus before, very successfully.  Other authors published in the series in the past include Ken Follett, Martin Suter and Adam Fawer. I am of course thrilled to be in the company of these 'thriller giants'.
Auf Wiedersehen!


The Loafers:
My contribution to The First Man in My Life
Sandra Martin, well-known literary  critic, has edited an anthology of original pieces about fathers and daughters for Penguin Canada. The First Man in My Life contains 22 narratives about a memory, a secret or an insight that made each contributor see her father in a new light or with a deeper understanding. The publication date is May 19, 2007, just in time for Father's Day. My contribution is a piece called The Loafers.
