Can you read German?

What better sort of book to publish than a Scottish historical romance, translated into German and written by an author with a Scottish first name and a German last name?

Im Herzen des Hochlands is  the German translation of my second book, Charming the Shrew.  The title translates to The Heart of the Highlands according to my daughter's professor. The cover is gorgeous and they spelled my name right -- always a plus!  It was released in Germany in December, 2007.

NaNoWriMo ~  1.8.08 Alas the fun is over for now, but the mayhem and furious word production will gear up again next fall.  If you've ever thought of writing a novel (and who hasn't?) this might be the thing to get you out of the "someday I'll write a novel" way of thinking and into the fabulous creative state that is actually writing that book. Check out the National Novel Writing Month web site for more information about writing in general and NaNoWriMo specifically.

"Wittig truly captures the essence of the Scots -- their deep passion for freedom and justice, love of their homeland and fierce pride -- in her remarkable characters and their colorful, historically accurate, highly romantic love story.  She's well on her way to becoming one of the genres finest story tellers."
