Always Trendy
I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated, but in my quest to always be trendy and hip to the latest fads, I caught a nice case of H1N1 about 2 weeks ago, and spent about 7 days being totally useless, and another 5 feeling generally cruddy. This was followed by some massive computer problems which I am still in the process of resolving, but I am at least functional again. For those of you who worry about such things, fear not for my unfinished writing. I have several redundant backups on separate drives, so nothing has been lost.
But while nothing has been lost due to viruses (human and computer), I am definitely behind on things. The stepsheet to The Daylight War was due last week, but I still need a couple more days of work to finish that. Also, I am a little behind on judging the Fan Art Contest. Thankfully, I gave myself until Thanksgiving to pick a winner, so I still have a couple of days. I also begged Subterranean Press for a few more advance copies of The Great Bazaar to give as prizes, and just received news that they are sending a few extra, so there will be multiple winners. Huzzah to Bill and Yanni at Subterranean for making that happen! (Did I mention Yanni’s baby is adorable? I met the little darling at WFC a couple of weeks ago.)
In other news, I have learned that AST in Russia will be publishing the Russian translation of The Painted Man in December, and I have just accepted an offer from them for The Desert Spear, so that’s a nice Christmas present for me and my future Russian readers.
Speaking of The Desert Spear, I would like to finally post the last entry in the Fan Art Contest to make it in before the Nov. 15 deadline, an awesome trailer for The Desert Spear movie made by Dwayne in the UK. Since a lot of you chumps have still not updated your browsers, which tend to crash when I embed video, I am including it as a link. Just click on the movie poster Dwayne made below to go to the YouTube page:
Oh poor Peat!
hope you’re well again. And good luck with judging the contest. I’m glad i don’t have to do it 😀 But great that you got more copies! Huzzah!!!
Dwayn made again a great trailer! I hope the “painted man” movie will be as good as our imagination 😉
I hope the movie will live up to expectations. This Fanart comp was fun, I should have made more entries. 4 is not enough.
I’m so glad you are at last well Peat!
I LOVED the new trailer! This time I was able to read all the text 😀 And what a pleasure to see images of Prince of Persia! I can’t wait to see this movie!
I too hope that the Painted Man movie will live up to our expectations… usually I’m always disappointed by book adaptations
Good news that you feel better, Peat! Hope you won’t be too weary. We missed you
Cool for Russia 🙂
When The Desert Spear and, then The Daylight War will be released, every fan in the world will be soooooo happy ^^
Cheers!
Dwayne, this is an awesome trailer! Loved it!
(God, Jake Gylenhaal is so HOT as Prince of Persia! I’m missing my breath… *_* )
Peat, you already have readers in Russia)))
so many good news in one post)))
and Dwayne’s trailer for The Desert Spear movie is like a christmas present)
