Hello SEELANGERS!

Just writing to share that my translation of Belarusian writer's gritty
noir coming of age novella "Number Ten" is currently free for download on
Kindle.  This is a limited time offer from May 28-31.  If you like it, we
hope you'll consider leaving us a kind review!

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KBCFB7O

Here's the Amazon description:
"As the Soviet Union collapses, talented seventeen-year-old footballer
Valera has his athletic aspirations cut short by a career-ending injury.
His life is adrift as he returns home to Mogilev, an industrial city in the
Belorussian Republic, where he moves back into his mother’s apartment and
enrolls in classes at a trade school to pass the time before his dreaded
conscription into the army. Dating a girl he knew in school helps soften
the harsh reality of life after a sports injury, but when Valera spends a
little too much time with some old friends who have developed neo-Nazi
aspirations, he finds himself lured into their violent schemes and spirals
out of control. Like a Dostoyevsky for the modern age, Vladimir Kozlov
chronicles the tale of Valera's descent from promising athlete to desperate
street thug in this gritty coming-of-age novella, which Kozlov himself
recently adapted, directed, and co-produced as a feature-length independent
film in Russia."

Thanks!
