(мой веб-сайт) is jmwsmith.webeden.co.uk, and my email (а моя электронная почта) is wackystories@gmx.co.uk. I would love to have your feedback very much (я был бы очень рад получить ваши отзывы; to love – любить; would love – хотел бы; to have – иметь, обладать; feedback – отклик, отзыв, ответная реакция; обратная связь; very – весьма, очень; much – много; очень, сильно)! And I would also be more than happy (я и также был бы более чем счастлив) to answer any questions from you (ответить на любые ваши вопросы: «любые вопросы от вас»).I am honoured to be having my stories translated into Russian. We, in the UK, regard Russia as a great country with a rich literary history. I have always admired Russian writers, and there are so very many great ones who have been translated into English and whom I have read. Sadly, I do not come anywhere close to being as great as them, but I still hope my stories will make you, the reader in far-off Russia, smile and think about the lessons to be learned within them. Thank you for taking the time to read them, and may I also thank Katerina Komissarova for the enthusiasm and encouragement she has given me during the translation process.
