Winterbirth

Winterbirth Just to add, re: the art on the Czech Winterbirth mentioned below, the artist is Kekai Kotaki, and there's lots more seriously dramatic fantasy art to admire at his website: http://www.kekaiart.com/. Stirring stuff.

Welcome back Brian, I've just finished reading the gathering storm and I'm just about to reread FoT for fun. Hows the new book progressing?. Brandon Sanderson has a nifty progress bar on his website for his books, stops all these annoying questions:-)

Progress is entirely satisfactory, thank you. And don't hold your breath for a progress bar showing up anywhere any time soon ... there's enough self-imposed pressure involved in this writing lark already, if you ask me.

those are some serious spikes. i would not like to get him home after a night at the pub. Who's he supposed to be? i don't recall anyone like that in the series.

Don't know who it's supposed to be - the covers of translated editions often have ... unusual interpretations of the actual text. Still, I do think it's a cool visual. Possibly a radical re-interpretation of Kanin and Wain?

I'm Baaaack ...
Enough of this Autumnal blogging inactivity. Got to take baby steps back into the habit for fear of straining my moribund blogging muscles, of course, so just a couple of quick notes to start with: Czech edition of Winterbirth emerges blinking (and perhaps even bawling?) into the world, under t...

It's All About Me
Further worrying evidence for the progressive contamination of the internet with me-related material. First, I do the interview thang at Moon Drenched Fables. Second, I do the fantasy casting for the movie-of-the-book thang at My Book the Movie. Not something I actually gave any thought to whi...

I just picked up your book Winterbirth. I'm hooked. I normally don't like to read fiction, but this one has sucked me in. Excellent!

As promised in the last post here, some brief details on the new book I'm writing. Yes, the fine folks at Orbit, in their infinite wisdom, seem to feel that the world could withstand further literary output by yours truly...

Congratulations Brian, I'm very excited about this. It's hard to think of a better combination of your strengths. And you have plenty supporters to get you past any hint of a slump.

Not enough is my standard answer these days to people who ask what I've been reading lately. So much stuff to read, so little time...

Some minor stuff about me, me, me - specifically my recent adventures in short fiction - that's shown up on the web.First off, I answer some questions over at the Rogue Blades Entertainment site, partly relating to the story - 'Beyond the Reach of His Gods' - I've contributed to their Rage of the...

Andy Lee Great news on the new book Brian, I'm looking forward to it already, I hope it is as dark as Fall of Thanes.

Thanks, Andy. And don't worry, I will be bringing the dark. Whether I'll bring as much as I did with FoT ... well, we'll just have to wait and see.

Kevin Smead Absolutely fantastic, sir. Definitely a master of modern fantasy. This is not only one of the best debut series around, but simply one of the best trilogies of books around. Very, very pleased and would love to see it as a movie or some sort of other medium as well. But still, absolutely fantastic.

I read the first two books about a year ago and recently found the last book. I re-read the series to keep the continuity I thought was so critical to this series. While I loved the book and I was totally into the story I will say only that I wish it could have ended differently. But that said, I have seen the real wor...ld version in modern times and understand that it doesn't always end the way we'd like. Still...good book.Read More

Winterbirth Garrett: there was a tentative inquiry about the movie rights quite a while ago, but it never came to anything. I'd be very surprised (to put it mildly) if the books ever got picked up for the movies, but that's fine: not something I'm going to lose any

Movies are never as good as the book anyways...

You know that's too bad, but I agree Melissa they never are as good. However, I thought it would be cool to see the "Godless World" created on the big screen or maybe even in a MMORPG. Nevertheless as I said before excellent writing, I loved the series. Keep us up to date on your future projects.

What about doing a movie for like one of the movie channels as a mini series for each book? There is so much in the book that it would take more than one 2 hour episode to cover it.

I disagree with James, keep your writing exactly the way it is. The series wasn't meant to be a feel good series with laughs and jokes. It's meant to be dark and emotionally raw. How else can he describe what is happening to the world? Excellent job Brian.

By any chance, has anyone contacted you about movie rights? I a...m a huge fan of the LOTR series, books and movies, and I think your series honestly has the same potential. Looking forward to your response.Read More
