I’ve been promising to do this for ages, and I’ve finally got round to it. For those of you who are interested in such things, this is what it’s like to have your book translated into other languages. Sadly, it involves no globe-trotting on my part.

It’s been a long wait, but US residents can finally buy 52 Seductions without finding weird work-arounds.
To celebrate, I’ve revamped 52Seductions.com, and added an introductory guide for American readers.
Do take a look. And tell all your friends. (I fear my English embarrassment about self-promotion won’t quite rub in the States).
Lovely, isn’t it? Released later this year.
Just how gorgeous is the cover of the Israeli edition of The 52 Seductions?
But what on earth does it mean? It’s a very strange feeling to see your own words translated into an alphabet you don’t understand. Herbert had a solution – he ran it through Google Translate. And this – rather wonderfully – is what it said…I’m pretty sure the real thing makes more sense!
One pair, one year. 52 Temptations
This book is about sex, but not only. Remember that once you could not keep their hands off it
It? Do not you stop even when there were people around you? English blogger Betty Herbert
Remember, but after ten years of marriage memory is so weak …
But one day Betty decides enough, enough: sex does only in fallow,
Lack of contact, erotic intimacy was replaced in purposeful farm managers
Home. Instead of tips and tricks all poor women’s mags and books of advice despairing, she
Conceived the project of great temptation: every week, for a year, her husband and she’ll seduce each other
– Time is, time is. Every week from 52 weeks they think how they want sex
Their look and feel. They treat sex as something not happening by itself, but as something
Deserves attention and creativity they devote at least as vacation planning
Their annual.
For implementation of the project, Betty and her husband fled their normal lives, not out of round the world
Or joined not see from that. They stay home, trying almost everything, and just at the seller
That are rediscovering the joys of marital sex: the need to innovate, overcome
The moments of confusion, lack of appetite and a bad idea, to cope with fear
Fantasies and anxiety to discover those of the partner.

The lovely Sofie R from Tel Aviv has generously translated it properly for us all to enjoy. Here’s what it really says:
One pair, one year
52 Temptations
This book is about sex, but not only. Remember that once you could not keep your hands off each other? That you did not stop even when there were people around you? English blogger Betty Herbert remembers, but after ten years of marriage this memory is so weak…
But one day Betty decides that enough is enough, and she cannot take it any more: Doing sex only once in a seven-year cycle (A Jewish law by which a land in Israel must lie fallow), Lack of contact, and the erotic intimacy that has been replaced by just a practical management of a house-holding.
Instead of all the poor tips and tricks written in the women’s magazines and despairing books of advices, she conceived the great temptation project : every week, during one year, her husband and she will seduce each other – He in his turn, she in her turn. Every week of the 52 weeks they will think how they want their sex to look and to feel like. They will treat sex as something not happening by itself, but as something which deserves attention and creativity, at least as much as is devoted to planning their annual vacation.
For implementation of the project, Betty and her husband did not fled from their normal lives, nor did they go for a tour around the world or joined an Ashram. They staid home, and while trying almost everything, they rediscovered the joys of matrimonial sex:
the need to innovate, to overcome the moments of embarrassment and bad ideas; lack of appetite for sex, coping with the fear of sharing your fantasies and the anxiety to discover those of your partner’s.
52 temptations invites us with surprising directness to make for ourselves an exciting journey just like Betty and her husband did : naughty, juicy, funny, even temperamental, sometimes sweating – and always delicious!
