Almost 38

So here we are. Tomorrow we'll turn 38. Which means we are ON TERM! Yeey!

Our baby girl is due on Septemeber 29th. We are so excited and can barely wait to meet her.

The Wishing Box is getting nicer and nicer each day and is getting more and more wishes inside. Soon it'll be time to start making those wishes come true.

Also, Andrei and I - and a group of good old friends - are planning to organize a literature festival this coming spring. We've already started to work on this, looking for an official organizer, sponsors, partners, location and so on. If anyone is interested in joining us in this adventure, feel fre to drop me a line at roxanagamart@yahoo.com

In the meantime, I'm translating Ten Minute Mysteries by Albert Jack, due for publishing in May 2010 at ART Publishing House. Meanwhile, you can check out PREP, a novel by Curtis Sittenfeld, published at Polirom. It is the first novel I've ever translated. Well... not entirely - I got some help from Ana-Maria Lisman, a good friend of mine who I should call ASAP. It's a fun reading if you're a teen and have all sort of issues connected to this period of time in life.

Also, on translation projects: keep an eye open for Opus Pistorum, by Henry Miller. Yeap! That one is mine - entirley mine - my precious! It should be out in the bookstores this fall. Pretty gross book, honestly! But I'm sure it has its audience out there.

Well, I guess that's all the projects on at this point. I'll let you know if something else shows up!
