I am very pleased to share the news that the Empire Series co-authored by Janny Wurts and myself will be translated into,Arabic. Al Amal Al Kubra in Saudi Arabia has secured the world language rights so this is a huge entry into that market. No details beyond that.

Barcelona has bought the rights to everything so far. I expect theyβll put this next series out as well.

My point is sometimes you subconscious takes over. Part of the fun is knowing where youβre going but not being sure how youβre going to get there.

So, when a character says, "Do you really want to do that?" I stop. "OK, so what should I do instead?" I ask.
Crickets.
I hate it when that happens.

If thatβs the leather cover, I sighed the title page which was duplicated at the printer. I forget why exactly they wanted to do that. I think it was a time limit thing. Anyway, that was the only time they tried that. Every other edition Iβve signed pages here at home or finished books in Glasgow.

Left hand is now as good as itβs going to get, given arthritis, so back to work. (Mom, do I gotta get out of bed? I donβt wanna go to school! Itβs cold outside!).
Anyway, as there are holidays all over the place from the end of November to late January, Happy Holidays!

I have no idea. The FP β89 signing is a decent bet as it is the only time Janny and I were in London at the same time.

It was always going to be a multi book project. Didnβt know how many when I started. SerpentWar ended up as 4. DeamonWar 2. Thing change in the telling.

No news, but a recap. Six Studio is still involved with developing both the Riftwar and Empire series in TV and film projects. I did something stupid and screwed up my left hand, so no progress on the next book. But life goes on. Safe travel everyone and enjoy the holiday.

There seems to be a flood of folks coming aboard. Time to pay more attention. No news per se, but Iβll post some info tomorrow that might have been neglected while Iβve been musing my left hand. Memo to self: not only arenβt you as fast and strong as you were at 25, Dummy, you donβt heal as fast.

Just thought of you the other day, Harry. Chanced across a bit in the film Aliens vs Predators where someone says, βThis is like finding Mosesβs DVD collection.β And I thought did you come up with that line? Anyway, looks like a lot of us are finding our way here.

After a long absence, Iβve recovered from screwing up my left hand in a fall. Memo to self: youβre not a kid anymore! Stop trying to grab stuff like you did when you were 18!
In any event, hand is 90% and I can type for short periods. So, today I have only one thing to say: VOTE if you havenβt.

My father was a director. An actor he liked was Maroni Olsen. So, my mom is driving past the Mormon Tabernacle on Santa Monica Blvd and I said 'Look, Mom, it's Gabriel!" She said, "No, that's the Angle Maroni!" Being a Hollywood brat I asked, 'They named an angel after Mr. Olsen?"

He just needs to keep punching. Trump's using money to pay lawyers, Dems are putting 150 local headquarters in battleground states, where Trump has zero. Napoleon: When your enemy is making mistakes, don't interrupt him.

Glad youβre enjoying it. Itβs been a point of pride the work captures ideas I only had a rough idea of until Janny made them better. Collaborations can be tough but worth it.

I'm not sure what the no messages thing means. Anyway, I'm here. I'm an author. If not fans, then anyone who wants to discuss writing, the business (what little I know), and how to get bulletproof in an ego shattering business.
