I just received my contributor copy of the No. 10, 2005 issue of the Russian SF magazine, ESLI, which contains a translation of my story "O One." I have no idea who the other contributors are, and only managed with Allison's help to puzzle out that "Крис РОБЕРСОН" was "Chris Roberson" in Cyrillic characters, which means that "О, ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ!" is "O One" (or so we assume; and we couldn't help but notice that is a lot of characters to spell out the word "one"). The full line up is here, and the Russian text of my story is here.



I've sold foreign language reprint rights to "O One" to a few different markets, and have been meaning to submit some of my other stories, but never seem to find the time. If more of these foreign magazines sent their contributor copies packaged like this, though, I'd more quickly find the time. Finding this in my mailbox was like receiving a parcel from the nineteenth century: butcher paper, twine, and glue!
