“Elena is no more.”

It's been one year since I lost contact with Elena Amberova who translated my novel into Russian. Elena lived in Kharkiv, Ukraine with her elderly mother who did not want to flee the country after the Russian invasion last year. Sadly last summer her brother contacted me, "...Lena is no more. It's been almost 3 months now. My name is Ivan, her brother." Ironically Saluki Marooned sold more copies in Russian than any of the other six languages (including English). Every time I think of Elena I feel sad. We Skyped a few times, texted, and emailed each other. And I read some of her writing which she translated into English. What a waste of a human being!

Saluki Marooned is now translated into Italian!

Facebook

Laura Sguigna, who translated SalukiMarooned into Italian wrote...

"An unexpected journey through time, the possibility to change your own life and free yourself from the ghosts of the past, an experience told in an ironic, funny but serious way, that tackles all stages of the life of a twenty-year-old... with the spirit of a fiftieth.
Peter Federson is one of us, just a bit lousier. 🤣
It’s been an amazing journey, a very long wait of emails, video calls, and podcasts to finally see this book published. With Robert Rickman we are like two old friends exchanging news, photos, and advice.
Also been officially nominated as Saluki... does it get any better than this?
And as always it wouldn't have been a good job without Alessandra Paganin Mietta who patiently corrects my horrors!
And we hope it sells for a lot... because I want to see Carbondale in person 😊"

The New Cover

Paula Buritsch Office Manager Small Business Incubator

 

I'd never seen this cover.  Ummmmmmmmm....

On a book I mean... a book that is actually in my presence, as in when I walked through the atrium yesterday and spotted Paula eating lunch and reading Saluki Marooned.  Paula has helped me with a variety of things, including website development, Facebook ads, and temper containment. (Mine, not hers)

Oh yes, the cover looks better in person than on a computer screen.  So does Paula!
