I don't know what it says, but I like it (Undercover, in the Netherlands)

It is possible to feel affection to people far away, in other countries—never met, never seen.

And get a load of that pink!

Thank you, Callenbach.

Small Damages has its first foreign sale!

Here's the news, and I'll share it quickly:

Small Damages, my southern Spain novel, has been sold to the Dutch publishing house, Callenbach.

Okay, I'll confess.  It makes me more than happy.

Huge gratitude to Tamra Tuller and the Philomel team that made this dream come true.
