- Peter V. Brett: Brayan’s Gold Cover ArtI head off to Australia tomorrow, and am not sure how much, if at all, I will be able to update the blog while I am gone, as the iPad and WordPress don’t seem to get along.

- Peter V. Brett: The Warder of OzSo I leave on Saturday for an exciting two-week adventure that will take me halfway around the world and back, as I pay my first visit down under to Australia, or as it is affectionately known as, Oz. My first readers were in Australia, as by some twist of fate, the Painted Man ARCs came [...] […]
- Peter V. Brett: Live Chat with Terry Brooks This WednesdayI am a big Terry Brooks fan. I’ve said it before. I’ve said it more than once. I’ve said it several times, in fact. If Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy, Terry Brooks is my awesomely cool uncle. When I was a kid, Tolkien, specifically The Hobbit, aroused my interest in fantasy, but it [...] […]

The London that comes to life in Kraken is a weird metropolis awash in secret currents of myth and magic, where criminals, police, cultists, and wizards are locked in a war [...]

Recrossing the Styx, a short story by Ian R. MacLeod from the May/June 2010 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
There is an interesting article on Salon.com about the coming “revolution” in publishing.
“When their former dictator, Augusto Pinochet, died four years ago, thousands of Chileans poured into the streets to celebrate — but that’s small potatoes compared to the crowds lining up to dance on the grave of traditional book publishing. The industry, we’re forever [...]
