what is love, which separates

This is what the German title of Mating Rituals of the North American Wasp means in English. Yes, that's right, for those of you clamoring to read my book in German, Was Sich Liebt, Das Drennt Sich will be available November 21.

I get a thrill out of seeing the foreign translations of my books. That people in France and Germany would want to read them is remarkable to me. It's also a great deal of fun to Google-translate the cover copy. Without further ado, here is the plot of my book in German:

"Dass sie im Bett neben einem fremden Mann aufwacht, ist für Peggy schlimm genug. Am Telefon zu erfahren, dass sie ihn geheiratet hat—unfassbar! Doch als Peggy und Luke übereinkommen, die Ehe annullieren zu lassen, macht dessen Tante ihnen ein unmoralisches Angebot: Wenn sie ein Jahr lang verheiratet bleiben, erben sie ihr Herrenhaus. Und beide brauchen dringend Geld...."

And here what Google says it means:

"The fact that she wakes up in bed next to a stranger, for Peggy bad enough to learn. On the phone that she married him, beyond me, but leave as Peggy and Luke agree to cancel the marriage, his aunt makes them an indecent proposal If they stay married for a year, inherit her mansion. And both need money...."

Hmm. Well, certainly that's pretty much the plot, though I suspect an actual German-speaking human would translate it with more precision. In fact, if you are a German-speaking human and would like to translate, please do so in the comments!

And for anyone who doesn't already know the plot of WASP, you can find it in English here.
