Czech author copies!

[Karen Dionne]

Here's something fun - my author copies of Freezing Point finally arrived from the Czech Republic! What I want to know is, who's that "Jeffu Kleinmanovi" guy mentioned in my acknowledgements?

[Pepper Smith]

Ah. It is interesting that they added endings instead of leaving them as they were.

[Karen Dionne]

Ah, sorry, Pepper! That was my little joke. My own agent is named "Jeff Kleinman," and the Czech publisher added the endings to his and other's names (Natalee Rosenstein," in the paragraph below, is my editor at Berkley.

I did think it was interesting that they did that. There's also an extra paragraph in my acknowledgements in which I don't recognize ANYONE'S name - I think possibly that's the translator thanking his people. Different, for sure!

Maybe the agent oversees who handled the rights for the book?
