I will be doing personalized signings of The Inheritance for my friend Shawn Speakman. Shawn operates The Signed Page, a wonderful site for bibiliophiles who long to possess autographed first editions. I’ve blogged here before about the beautiful Subterranean Press edition of The Inheritance, with interior art by Tom Kidd. In an extremely generous gesture, [...]

A little less than ten hours to go here. Think I’ll wander out to First Night in Tacoma, and check out the world’s shortest parade.   I’m so glad that my city decided to continue this tradition.  Giant puppets, music, free admittance to the city’s museums . . . I love it! I wish all of [...]

Well, I think the headline says it all! I’m grateful for the wonderful year I’ve had with family and friends!  I hope we all find peace and prosperity in 2012!

Steven Brust and I co-wrote an urban fantasy called The Gypsy back in 1992. We had a lot of fun writing it together, in fact, I’d say it was one of the most enjoyable writing experiences of my life.  The book incorporated snatches of song lyrics that Steve had co-written with Adam Stemple, then part [...]

Just a brief update, as I am still up to my neck in dragons. Figuratively. Literally, I’m up to my neck in obese cats, but we won’t talk about that here. Worldcon, as noted before, is in Reno this year, and is called Renovation! The dates are from August 18th to August 21. For more [...]

Just a reminder that Worldcon is just around the corner! I am hoping to meet many readers and fellow writers at Renovation, to be held August 17 to21, in, of course, Reno, Nevada. There is a stellar line up of guests (Ellen Asher, Tim Powers and Boris Vallejo, with Charles N Brown with us in [...]

I have been looking forward to this for what seems like a long time! This week will be the launch of the US edition of The Inheritance. This is a story collection by both of my writing names. I wrote as Megan Lindholm long before I became Robin Hobb, and to this day, I continue [...]

Packing is done.  And repacking and triple checking of suitcase is done, too, not that I have a trace of obsessiveness or anything. Tomorrow I fly across the US, change planes on the run, and fly on to Belgium.  I’ve come to hate flying.  Not just the security checks, or the cramped seats but worst [...]

US Inheritance Cover Need I say more?  I’m off soon to Belgium for Trolls and Legends in Mons.  But upon my return, I’ll be plunging into the excitement of the US edition of The Inheritance coming out. Now, if you want a quick way to know where I am and what I’m up to, at [...]

So sorry to see it end!  Had an absolutely wonderful time on Sunday. The panel was well attended, and I met a lot of readers. I think the high point of my day was a conga line of costumed participants that just seemed to spontaneously form and dance through the convention hall.  Spectacular! Tomorrow, I’ll [...]
