Been a bit o' time since I checked in on the Watch, so 'plogies for taking this long to notice ... but wanted to thank you duchess for ordering my book!! :) Also, I have been podcasting (this is just basically mp3 files, they'll play on anything that plays mp3's) the ENTIRE audiobook version of THE ...

Baradakas,

Being both High Wood Boy and a fan of Donaldson's work, I'm sure you know all about the problem inherent in granting lore that is unearned.

And no problem Caamora, we'll catch you next time hopefully.

Thanks for the props, Cate, very appreciated ...
If anyone is curious, more info about where to get the book / reviews are here: www.pocketandpendant.com

And thanks to Romeo -- who was a great help introducing me around to several people at the World Fantasy Con this year!!

Got it Danlo ... and yes the one in Tempe.

Who here is going to the World Fantasy Convention next weekend? SRD is scheduled to be there Sat/Sun, wondering if anyone else on this list (other than Romeo, whom I know is going) will be there? Would love to meet more of you in the flesh. Also: I'm doing a reading from my new novel at WFC (The Poc...

No I remember where I saw it ...
It was NOT in the 1997 interview I did with him
It was in the WA Senior book .. I just recalled this and do not have time to thumb it out to prove it, but I know it was in there. He was speculating on 'what the third one would be like if he wrote it'.

OK ... Here's what I think: The theme of overlapping identities seems to be rampant. And the lines between Who is Who seems to be becoming blurrier and blurrier. For instance: Covenant = Foul. Foul is his dark side. We have had this beaten into our heads for six books now. He is also externalized as...

Foul has no choice in the matter because he IS Thomas Covenant -- just as Thomas Covenant IS Foul. Two sides of one coin. That's why Anele-as-Foul is HELPING Linden, but with a Foul-like Bad Attitude. And besides, Donaldson himself has said in the third go-around, Covenant BECOMES Lord Foul. First t...

You CAN order it online from the pocketandpendant.com website, though, fyi

F&F -- 1.) Yeah sorry about that .. i should perhaps have been more clear .. the ISBN# is grinding its way into the book system, it SHOULD be there by the end of this month, latest. 2.) I should make sure you're clear that it's in stock in the Borders in Santa Monica ONLY ... the one on the 3rd ...

Well all's swell that ends swell.
Group Hug!!
And --- check out www.pocketandpendant.com!! You can read it before Runes! I'll like, be the warm band.

Well now then ... since I thought you (Danlo) ran the Watch, when you said, 'Sure you have my blessing' I though it was 'official'. And now, I know it was not and I stand here, looking as graceful as a pregnant ur-Vile (an oxymoron, as we all know). So I grovel before High Lord Jay for forgiveness, ...

OH. I thought Danlo was the ak-haru SteveAustin Ardenol Moderator honorific of this board ... I guess in that I was mistaken. OK well I TRIED to do the right thing :) And now I get the comments. Apologies to the High Lord for my error. And now I find myself the target of that ARC-reading menace Dart...

Um, yeah: Danlo gave me permission -- I asked.
I didn't feel right just posting a plug in this Stephen R. Donaldson-centric arena without the moderator saying it was okay first.
Is that weird for some reason? Call me nutty, but seemed like the proper etiquette to me.

Fellow Watchers, Danlo gave me permission to let you all know about a book I've just published called 'The Pocket and the Pendant'. It's scifi/fantasy (of course! what else IS there? :) ) and I'd like to invite you check it out -- website with more info is here: www.pocketandpendant.com Now. It's no...

Sorry, I can't explain Whelan's art for "Runes." He does what are considered "symbolic" covers: they don't illustrate a scene from the book; instead they're intended to *evoke* the book in a general sense. But once you've read "Runes," you'll be able to appreciate Whel...

And don't worry, SRD, I'm going to have Vain change markjeffrey's name to Mark-o. (somebody say it) "It's only a flesh wound"? Hahahaha :) Steve. The Stevester. Steve-o. Steve-a-leve-a-ding-dong. Makin' copies. Personally, I give Stephen R. Donaldson two big half-handed thumbs up for how ...

Oh yeah --
And tell Perry that my bracelet (the one she asked about) was actually one the heels of the Staff of Law -- it was part of my 'Vain costume' for Elohimfest
