It's finally out.

My crime novel 'Vice and Virtue', set in Saudi Arabia, has been published in German translation by Pulp Master as 'Laster und Tugend'.

http://www.pulpmaster.de/z/25.shtml

Loosely based on true events, it concerns Western (i.e. from western countries) bootleggers engaged in a deadly turf war.

The title refers to Saudi Arabia's notorious religious policemen belonging to the Directorate for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (aka The Vice and Virtue Men) who enforce, amongst other things, prohibition in the country.

The book's already got a good review (though of course in German).

Now it's fingers crossed for good sales so the other two books in the trilogy can get published.

Planning is an unnatural process - it is much more fun to do something.  The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression. [Sir John Harvey-Jones]

"If you want to write, write it. That's the first rule. And send it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. Don't send it to me. Don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. They're not going to publish it."
