Yeah, it was very cool listening to Stephen read his own work. I just wish I had gotten the tail end of Chapter One there. Grr. He also had two or three great diatribes during his talk. One dealt with the length of time it takes for him to write and why it takes so long. Another dealt with Linden Av...

Luck Brits. I hope it does very well in the UK!

Nothing wrong with 50 people coming, either. There was probably only about 25 at one of the Seattle signings -- although it was the second of two and perhaps the rest went to the first signing.

Here is the link to the reading:

Just go to the bottom of the page where it says Videos. The file is 10.2 MB I believe and is only 9 minutes.

I think you are MIGHTILY confused, Jacob Raver. haha

How about the Fantasy and Science Fiction museum in Seattle? *grins*

I am going to post it, if for no better reason to let people hear him speak.

I'll get it up when I can... I promise to post here when I do.

Only six minutes because computers suck more often than not. *grins* To be honest, I don't know why sometimes it will record only six minutes and other times it will record and hour 1/2. It makes no sense. Might be a power issue -- plugged in as opposed to working off of the battery. At any rate, no...

And it was great talking to Stephen's son too -- cool guy.

Hi All, To those I talked to at the Seattle/Bellevue signing tonight, just wanted to say it was nice talking to you before the event. It was pretty damn fun. I just wish my recording went longer than six minutes -- at least I got him explaining why it takes him three years to write a book. *grins* A...

May you have a great day today! haha

That's funny, Niftium... I thought the very same thing. *grins*

Here's my map: The Kingdom & Beyond

Yeah, absolutely, Romeo. It's just very sad that the book itself is a work of art but the map is not.

Yeah, well, Kevins Watch is still on it.... and that's been destroyed. haha Plus with the whole time thing, the Creche could still be there. *grins*

Yup, good ole' Strict On Sale date prevents the big chains of selling it early in the US. Pretty lame. But it keeps sales between independent and chain stores equal by not giving the book early to one or the other... The books are at least at the book distributor. I picked up a few copies today from...

And I forgot to post: There is no Fou's Creche. Just Hotash Slay.

I agree. The map isn't very good at all. It's like a simpler version of the Lynn Plagge map. The odd thing is: No one takes credit for the map in the book. There are no initials highlighting who drew the map, and there is nothing on the copyright page nor on the dust jacket. Strange. I picked up my ...

That's ugly as all fugh. The UK covers are atrocious, I think. The only thing they have going for them is uniformity, and who wants ugly uniformity. haha

Danlo, I have those first three Donaldson Holt hardcovers signed, and they are in great shape but I really wish we as Donaldson fans could get a nice looking re-released hardcover. Every year that passes, I get more and more passionate about starting a Grant Books type of publishing house, just so I...

How about this? Those of you who read RUNES and REVENANT: What would you rate RUNES and then how would you rate REVENANT?
