First of all, I want to emphasize: most often I find them, but I do not look for. Search assumes certain definiteness, an accurate algorithm of action. When you look for - at least you know THAT you look for and WHERE you look for. In my case it not always so. To be exact to tell, in my cases because all of them are unique and often unpredictable. As it is not possible to tell about all my "finds", and curious a huge set, I will give one example - from the newcomer - "Communications solve everything". Business was so Е

Further quite long and not really interesting story about chinese whispers and slow literary agents follows. Some time me was sent from one agent to another, and from the second - to the third while once (the world is close!) in series of names did not flash well to me familiar - I had to deal with one of agents few years ago when I worked in other publishing house. I wrote it the letter, having reminded of our cooperation, and asked assistance. It appeared, I am remembered! And off it went: the contract, transfer, editing, writing of the preface specially to the Russian edition, the painful choice of the Russian name and long disputes on how Tsarevitches-businessmen put on?

Here so thanks to my curiosity and a couple of coincidence there "was" our 24th book.

Having used a feedback form, I wrote several kind words to authors. So I got acquainted with Darci, Gayle and Judee. It appeared, for them it was the first letter from Russia. They willingly sent me a book copy. Having read it on one breath, I, naturally, lit up the idea of its edition in Russian. Fortunately, I managed to infect with the enthusiasm colleagues (by the way, among us there were sceptics. I hope, now they changed the opinion?). It was necessary only to sign the contract with the owner which as it appeared, the author was not.

Has to admit, to me so often there is any improbable coincidence that I ceased to be surprised to them for a long time. Therefore I was interested even not in a collection of stories. Much more I was impressed by the idea of its creation. "And to whom it came to mind?" - I took an interest and went to the website in search of the answer. And having appeared there, saw that these surprising people are authors not only the website, but also the book. And here the idle curiosity developed into professional interest!

But that's another story Е

Once at some English-speaking forum I read an amusing story about surprising coincidence in life of one girl. History caused quite heated discussion during which one of participants of a forum wrote approximately following: "You will think - surprised! You here on workthepond descend - there yet not it is written!" And it briefly told that on one website there is a "small-world stories" collection - stories how the world is close.

P.S. By the way, the daughter Darci and Gale call Anastasius (not the most widespread name in Canada, truly?). Well unless they could not answer me?

To tell about my work? Usually it is a difficult task. If someone is interested, than I am engaged in publishing house, usually I begin so: "First, I find books which we publish Е" All. About "secondly", "thirdly" and "fifthly" it does not come. Further the question of how I find books follows and to answer it not so simply and absolutely not quickly Е

Here such work at me.
