What a perfect day to publish a gorgeous-looking novel! It’s publication day in Germany for my first novel as Eva Carter – a.k.a. - in English - as How to Save a Life.
The publishers have created a truly beautiful edition and the title – which translates as Between Two Heartbeats – is perfect for a love story that begins when one heart stops. I love how it looks – and early reviews suggest that the translator Katharina Naumann and the editorial team have done a wonderful job. The audiobook also features some wonderful German actors.
In a strange synchronicity, this manuscript of this book went out to publishers on my mother’s birthday and Rowohlt Verlag said they wanted to publish it within 24 hours! So it’s wonderful that they’re the first in the world to publish this novel. And today would have been my parents’ 55th wedding anniversary and while neither would have said theirs was an entirely conventional romance, my parents were a huge influence on the story - another reason to celebrate the fact that the book is out today.
