Has anyone noticed that according to Donaldson's reports of manuscript length, Runes seems to have been cut down a lot more than the other two books throughout the draft process?

I'll presume that to mean that Donaldson is now in his stride.
And I could see how the first book gets the most twiddling and tweaking before it comes out. Subsequent books are locked in by the first book, there aren't as many significant choices to make.

It's official! D&A, baby! Look forward to the trailer and chapter online, culminating in a glourious publication in October! However, there will be no author tours...

No author tours? Damn. I missed the last one too.

No author tour. I'm good with that -- he wants to put all his energy into writing that last book.

No author tours? That's a drastic departure from normal procedure, isn't it?
That may be ostensibly good for SRD's mental health (we all know he hates such tours), but is it yet another sign of his dimming presence in the eyes of the publishing industry? Did Fatal Revenant sell that badly that his publishers couldn't even justify a promo tour?
Ah, okay, I read SRD's announcement on his website. I see it was solely his decision. (He can say no to these things and they'll accept? Who knew.)

I know! I remember three years ago (or so) that he pretty much said he went on those tours because he was kinda coerced into it to keep publisher-author relationships in a positive light.matrixman wrote: (He can say no to these things and they'll accept? Who knew.)
But bluebird has a point, maybe the Last Dark is going to be quite the ride (Argh, AATE isn't even out yet, and I'm all ready speculating on the LD

"Against All Things Ending" by Stephen Donaldson
The next volume of the popular "Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" series may be out sometime in 2010, and Tara Parkinson will be ready to nab it.
Parkinson says she loves Donaldson's science fiction and fantasy series because the books are "hard reading," unlike other stories that are simply "eye candy."
"Donaldson's books are not easy," the Harrisville resident says, "but it's very, very rewarding (reading)." [link]
