Tim Lebbon Live Chat Recap

If you missed out on the Tim Lebbon live chat on Star Wars Books Facebook page yesterday, you can check it out here. Below you’ll find our edited transcript.
Tim Lebbon: Hi guys! Looking forward to this. Let the questions begin!
In the book you depict the actual training that Je’daii go through on Tython; how much creative freedom did you have with those sequences?
Tim Lebbon: Quite a lot, actually. My editor was keen to see some of the training in the Je’daii Temples, and as I developed the story I found that it fed in VERY nicely to Lanoree and Dalien’s background and what went wrong between them in the past. The temples themselves were already established by John and Jan, but the training they go through and a lots of the geographical details, etc, are all my own. That was a GREAT part of writing the novel … and there are other Temples I didn’t get to visit. Continue Reading Tim Lebbon Live Chat Recap…

New Excerpt for ‘The Godborn’
May 17, 2013 at 7:19 am | Posted in Books, Fantasy | Leave a commentTags: forgotten realms, paul s. kemp, the godborn, the sundering
Author Paul S. Kemp has posted a new excerpt for his upcoming Forgotten Realms novel The Godborn.
Telemont leaned on his magical staff and looked out the glassteel window of his tower library. The shadow-fogged air allowed only filtered starlight through its canopy, but Telemont could see well enough. The city of Shade extended before him, the dense jumble of its towers and domes and tiled roofs blanketed in night. It was his city, and he’d fought and schemed for centuries to preserve it and its people, along the way compromising . . . many things.
“Something’s changed, Hadrhune,” he said. “The world shifts under my feet.”

Caine Needs Your Help
May 16, 2013 at 12:53 pm | Posted in Books | Leave a commentTags: acts of caine, matthew stover
The Acts of Caine will be released in a couple of weeks, and author Matthew Stover has a request to make of his fans.
Okay, here we go.
The Acts of Caine will be released to the entire English-speaking world in a couple of weeks. Now I’m going to ask a favor of you. Of all of you.
Post reader reviews. At Amazon.com, Amason.co.uk (when they’ll let you), and at B&N, Powell’s and every bookselling site you can access. If you’re reading this, I’m guessing that your review will be four or five stars (though I’m okay with honesty; if you think they’re worth less, post a shitty review. I forgive you in advance. So does Caine). What I want is numbers. What Caine needs is numbers.
Around 600 people like this page, but HEROES DIE has only 69 reviews on Amazon.com. Does that make sense to you? I have almost 500 friends on Facebook, but only 115 of them have liked this page. Does that make sense to you? It doesn’t really make sense to me. Continue Reading Caine Needs Your Help…
