a good start

[realthog]

Not so much a start as a herald, to be precise, since we're still a few hours away from the dawn of '09.

Well, I hope it's a herald . . .

I just heard this morning from the publisher of my books Discarded Science and Corrupted Science that the Russian rights in both have sold -- to the company Izdatelstvo Martin.

The advances aren't such that I'll be agonizing any time soon over whether to buy a Ferrari or a Bentley, but at least I'm a few grand better off than I thought I was when I went to bed last night.

A few grand less insolvent, anyway.

Hey, terrific news! It always helps to be a little less insolvent.
