Kevin's Watch

bear with me I am new and this is a bit more complicated for me.
I dreampt many years ago and when I awoke the only thing I could remember was the words 'Lord Foul's Bane'....which made no sense to me but they haunted me until I saw the book and from there I never looked back.

In some circles they say a book wants to be written, the story waits for the person that will bring it to life for all of us to read. As the writer creates the words upon the page it comes alive not just in his/her mind but within the minds of all who read and from there a new world exist that grows within Its own heart.

I found such wonderment, such pain and passion, such utter dismay and glorious joy in all the writing of the Land. I thank you Stephen R. Donaldson for bringing me your books......all of them.

I hope you read this.
regards and great joy

Welcome Jean, welcome and true!

Welcome to the Watch!

I suggest you post your thoughts as above at SRD's website in the Gradual Interview. That is the best way to contact him, as he does not come here often.

thank you to both of you

Yep, We're a friendly bunch

Welcome indeed. There's lots to see, and say, so have fun and enjoy.

For a second I could have sworn this was an entry in the Book of the New Sun series

well every book is a world
and we being what and who we are
gleams from all that is around
a voice that sings to only them

Now tell me
what is 'the book of the sun' series?

please and regards

My apologies, algini. Your writing just reminded me of the Book of the New Sun - a series set millions of years into the future, set on Earth/Urth about a Torturer. Extremely well written and very imaginative.

the book sounds intriguing
I shall have to look it up
thank you

Yep, I could see Master Ultan saying it.
