My first teen book, SWITCH, came out in German last month, which was pretty cool. It’s called MITTERNACHTSWANDLERIN, which, if my sources are to be believed, means something like “Midnight Transformer.” So that’s, um, catchy.

Anyway, having a book translated into a language I don’t understand has led me to discover Google’s translation program. I’m hoping the program is seriously buggy, because this is what I find when I translate my author bio on the publisher’s site. Enjoy.
