Found in Translation
by KMR
Some time ago, I wrote a journal entry of the fact that my story is 'lost in translation'. Due to the fact that english is my second language, it never seemed to matter how often I rewrote my story... it was never good enough. Things were getting better - but simply never 'right'.
A story is a story, and it can be told in many means. As a book, by the spoken word, and it can be a comic... After the last years of listening, my husband sat down and wrote the first part of my story as a comic-script, in hope it would sell easier than the book.
Almost two and a half years ago, I met Kat online and asked her, if she wanted to make my story into a comic. ... I don't remember why she agreed at the time. That was January 06. Now, we have May 08, and Kat has become my penciller and my story - seemingly found in translation - is going to be available to the public worldwide...

Wonderful! The story was always there, Kas, and I still want to see it in full novel form as well because there were little details and feelings within the action and drama that were awesome, and only hindered a bit by the language choice and deserve to be read in full some day.
