RAINE IN RUSSIAN !!!!!!!!!!
Yep, you heard me right -- Raine in Russian! (big, humongous, freakin' grin)
This is the news I hinted at in December, but I couldn't tell you until the contracts were signed. The Russians made the offer, we (of course) accepted the offer, but I couldn't say a danged thing until I'd signed the contracts (which I received and signed last night). I just love signing contracts! ; )
The details: AST Publishers in Moscow bought the Russian translation rights for both Magic Lost, Trouble Found and Armed & Magical! Both books will be printed first in hardcopy (woot!) and then in paperback. Believe me, when I get my sample copies, I'll definitely post plenty of photos.
I know you expected a pound cake recipe today (yeah, I can hear the groans of disappointment), but I thought the news of Raine in Russian! was just a wee bit more fun than dessert (at least it is to me). But if anyone's chomping at the bit to get a fantabulous pound cake recipe in time for a dinner/event/bakesale this weekend, just email me and I'll send it on. For everyone else, I'll post the recipe here next week.
And for the Saturday Fun Pic: I found a great Renaissance Faire photo of me, Derek, and Wes our fencing coach. I'll post it here tomorrow.
It's Friday, folks -- we made it!

Russia! Oh, I love Russia! And in hardback too, Lisa. That is so awesome. Way to go.
;)
I'm sure the Russians will love you. Have you ever read any of their fairytales and folktales? I have and I can see why they'd what Raine.
I wonder how they'll handle that great Raine voice in Russian? I guess I'll never know, because I don't read Russian.
Anyway, congratulations!
I've been wondering how Raine's snarkiness will come across in Russian. ; ) My fencing coaches gave me a Russian dictionary. Needless to say since the alphabet is completely different from English, it won't help a bit, but it's fun. ; ) And it figures, my first hardback deal and it's in a language that I can't even read the alphabet. LOL!
How cool is that! Congrats, Lisa.
Thank you, Laurie! Once the books come out and if there's any way to get Russian copies here in the States, I'll be sure to let everyone know.
