Congrats, TW. I guess you've finally decided to put down roots, somewhere. :rolleyes: A fine looking tree. May it grow tall and handsome. Cough. Unllike you. ;)

Droflet,
Thanks :) and yes I am neither tall nor particularly handsome. I anticipate the tree doing far, far better!
 
Congrats TW. A hawthorn would have been cool though!

Hi all, and welcome to another Friday Five. It’s been a nice hot week so far, with it being more nice when outdoors and more just hot when penned up in a third floor flat with no aircon. I&#8…

A few thoughts on multi-POV starts

There are two things that are true. One is I have a term “Pathofdaggersitis” that I’ve coined for books that remind me of Path of Daggers with its multiple PoVs and corresponding …

Book covers and album covers. Probably the best sci fi art out there.

Nice feature, Bick. I really hope you add more artists as I really enjoyed it.

As an aside, I always wonder how many of these wonderful works of art were thrown away

Twenty-plus years ago we got nattering with John Meaney at a convention, just after his "To Hold Infinity" had been published. He was really pleased to have been able to buy a print of his Jim Burns book cover. The original was beyond the reach of his wallet.
 
I bought a book on the art of Jim Burns by Jim Burns and I remember him mentioning in it that Alice Rasmussen bought the original oil for the first of her Jaran book covers and I think it was of the order of at least £3,000 (might be misremembering) but a tidy sum.
It's a good book to read - bits in there on how he did the paintings. I remember one had a female space pilot with her helmet tucked in the crook of her arm. He got his wife to model it with a mixing bowl tucked in the crook of her arm.
 
I've tried to set up some analysis tools to look at site traffic (i.e. is there any :) )
I can't easily see if it works properly unless I get some external visits - could I just ask a few who see this to click on this link please and then I'll see what works. (Feel free to have a look around of course).

Many thanks.

An Interview with Stephen Deas

One of my favourite discoveries this year was Stephen Deas’ The Moonsteel Crown, a really enjoyable and twisty adventure with great characters that riffed off a lot of stuff I loved. The mome…
