A couple of you asked about my offhand reference to an Israeli book deal a few days back. It now appears to be a go. Blindsight, by Peter Watts, is being translated into Hebrew by Kitdmat Eden, of which I know little beyond the fact that they put out some very nice cover designs. Or rather,

Feeling a bit snarky, today, are we?
What? No! I'm actually feeling pretty good today, nestled as I am between the point where I sent my damn space-opera story off and the point where the editor writes back to tell me it sucks.

And for what it's worth, Kidmat Eden seems to mean East of Eden, which is of course a reference to Genesis 4:16.

Thanks for catching that.
The Pe- in "פטר" looks to me more like Pedro and not like Peeeeter.
