Wonder what "Riverside" is in Hebrew?

Just signed contracts for Hebrew translation of Swordspoint, to be published in Israel by Graff Publishing!

Maybe now my mother will finally read it . . . .

So glad to have another good excuse to stay in touch with my WorldCon/WFC pals Gili Bar-Hillel Semo (best-known in Israel as the translator of Harry Potter there)  and Rani Graff (with whom I have now dined in, let's see, we're up to 5 countries?).  Here we are (taken by Delia, I guess) at our epic Day of the Dead ramble in San Francisco (guided by the divine Pat Murphy) after WFC in 2009::

As they say in Israel: Mazal tov!

That's really exciting! Great picture by the way.

Does this mean you'll finally come to visit me in Tel Aviv?

Wow, awesome! Come visit us in Israel!
I've been dreaming of seeing you as a guest of honor at ICon for years now... :)

I hope so!

I can't wait to get there! 2012, maybe..?

Watched the movie USHPIZIM last night, by the way - little bits of my Hebrew are coming back to me....

Thank you! It was such a terrific night - we peeled off after a bookstore signing to seek out the Day of the Dead parade and altars in the park across town - Gili was elated, and took many photos, and we were all caught up in the beautiful and heartfelt weirdness....

Yay, that's great!

Mazel tov!

Did you like USHPIZIM? We did. Wacky and devout--there's an odd combination.

Congratulations on your good news.
