I've just accepted an offer on Spanish (that is, in Spain proper) edition of
The Drowning Girl: A Memoir. Which means, as of this writing, there will be French, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian, Turkish, and Polish foreign language editions of the novels. I do not have release dates on any of these.
I have somehow survived a truly awful night. Two hours sleep, then maybe another hour and a half after sunrise, sometime between eight ayem and ten thirty. What sleep I did get was delirious, full of feverish dreams that were, by turns, silly and horrible. So, at best, three and a half hours of uneasy sleep. This means I am excused from typos for the remainder of the week.
Gods, what a horrid night.
Yesterday was a very good writing day. I did 1,516 words on the second chapter of Cherry Bomb.
And here's the last set of photos from Manhattan, all taken on Thursday (well, except for the very last one):
View to the south from Pier 51.
View to the southwest. Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty as seen from Pier 51 (3.01 and 3.82 miles distant, respectively).

Hoboken Terminal, as seen from Pier 51 (~.84 miles); view to the southwest.
