As a multiple language speaker it's also frustrating to see people using AI for translation because the English speaking world tends to treat translators like workers for hire instead of co authors of text and this feels like more of it. Translation at the literary level is creative work.

CORVID UPDATE:
I walked the dog past my murder of crows' tree yesterday.
I said "HELLO! HELLO! HELLO!" as we went under them.
They started cawing at me, then took off, flying...
TO MY HOUSE!
They waited for my return.
One crow said, "HULLO!"
So, of course, I gave them their tasty peanuts.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

The stars have somehow aligned, and we're up to FOUR (4) total translation acceptances within the past month!
These stories are all slated to come out next year: two of them are science fiction, and two are horror/dark fiction.
