Wish fulfilment

Another post! Well, I'm spending today catching up on Pellinor stuff. One of the things I didn't expect when I wrote these books was the creativity of the readers - they've generated some gorgeous fan act and fan fiction (and some frankly bizarre fantasies, as well!) And now they're moving into videos.

Anyway, today, courtesy of a reader called Icelands on my sffworld forum, I post for your amusement a fake trailer for The Riddle. (A harbinger, perhaps, of Things to Come - one of the questions I am most often asked is when the movie is going to be made, so maybe in the next five decades...) I hate to think how many copyrights the video contravenes - it clips from practically every fantasy movie ever made - but Icelands has nicely put a copyright notice at the end. And I rather like it!



Oh, and while I'm at it - Walker Books has put The Singing in its catalogue, with Patrick Insole's wonderful cover. So I thought I'd post that too. Sharp-eyed Bardic experts will notice the map behind the image, which gives some hints on where the story is, as it were, going...

Ha, I suppose you may be surprised, but passionblack3 and Icelands are one and the same.

So...thanks for posting my fake trailer up, though I don't think it's terribly good.

Hi Leslie

How odd that B&N stock the later books but not the first. You must ask them where it is!

Isn't Cadvan supposed to be sad and the guy in the trailer is too happy to be Cadvan. And Maerad is supposed to be 16 years old not twelve!!!
