Unexpected Envelopes

[hrj]

It's always a delight to get one of those little glassine-windowed envelopes that has the unmistakable look of a royalty check. (Not quite as delightful as getting one of those envelopes that has the unmistakable look of a contract, but I don't happen to have any submissions out at the moment.) It seems the Sword & Sorceress series is now appearing in Italian translation. I guess I'll have to try to track down a copy for my collection. (The check only lists volume 12 at the moment.)
