I know jealousy is a base emotion and I hate myself for it, but I am working on it.
Things Without A Name seems to have hit a chord - I get emails every day from people (have been in the past few weeks) which has just been the best gift as an author, but Secret Mothers Business has only just come out in Germany in the past few months and for whatever unknown reason, the women there have latched onto it and are buying it in the tens of thousands. It's a great feeling, even though I can't even say THANK YOU in German.

So the good people of Germany have discovered what I know to be true - Secret Mothers Business is a bloody great book!
Isn't it amazing to think that women (probably), in a country which is culturally quite different from Australia in many respects, have identified so strongly with the themes of SMB? Motherhood - the great leveller? Or is it the unrelenting honesty of your book which touches a chord? Both I think. Hopefully this bodes well for a release of Things Without A Name.
BTW - is there a literal translation of Weiberabend? It's a Lost in Translation moment for me- how can they have just one word for Secret Mothers Business? The cover looks very cool.

PS - I also covet aspects of JK Rowling's life. Her website alone is very enviable.
Also...I think 'danke' might be the word you are after. haha

It's very cool that your work is being sought after in Germany, I wish you even higher sales in the weeks to come!
