I was on Amazon last night and noticed that Thousandfold Thought now has a release date of Feb. 2. I am unsure of what is going on... ******************************************************

VanderMeer's Shriek: An Afterword and Erikson's The Bonehunters both came out recently. <i></i>

Newly released in the USA is a book our European brethren have been going gaga over ~ Hal Duncan's Vellum.

Another huge European hit is Vandermeer's Shriek, and that will be coming out in the US this coming August (2006).

A third book in Gene Wolfe's Latro series will be coming out on my birthday in October 2006.

I believe that Erikson's Bonehunters is now out everywhere except the US. Thank God for Canadian bookstores.

Naomi Novik's hit, His Majesty's Dragon, mixing dragons into Napoleanic warfare, is now out in mass market paperback. The second book, Throne of Jade is also supposedly now out, though I have not seen it at a store yet.

Paul Park's followup to last year's The Princess of Roumania, called The Tourmaline will be out in July, 2006. ******************************************************

Naomi Novik's second book in her trilogy that started with His Majesty's Dragon, called Throne of Jade is definately out in the stores. Both are out in mass market paperback. The third book, The Black Powder War, will be out in mass market paperback May 30, 2006. I have to applaud the publisher - they have released the entire trilogy in three months! And in wallet friendly mass market paperback at that!!!

Why the heck can't those blood/money suckers at Tor do something similar with Erikson's books in the US? ******************************************************

Charles de Lint has a new novel out called Widdershins. It is set in his fictional city of Newford. ******************************************************

There are competitons to win it at www.fantasybookspot.com and fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com ------------------

" 'You see, I don't believe in Todd. I think Todd exists only in your minds.'
'You take that back!'
'Where is your Todd now?' *laughs evilly*"<i></i>

Everybody's talking about this book Murrin! We'll need a Lynch thread very soon (that's sounds kinda scary, doesn't it... ). *****

Fravashi saying (from the formularies of Osho the Fool) <i></i>

The book Murrin mentioned, the much hyped The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch is now readily available in the US. It is the first book of what might supposedly end up being a long series??

Also out in the stores:
The Blood Knight by Greg Keyes, third in a four book epic fantasy series called The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone.

Dragon's Fire, the latest Pern book by Todd McCaffrey, son of Pern's originator Anne McCaffrey who wrote this book along with his famous mother. The last couple of Pern books before this one were either co-written by both of them or written by Todd. The Mom is evidently in the process of passing on the torch to the next generation. ******************************************************

Vandermeer's Shriek An Afterward is now available in the US; our European friends loved that one.

Garth Nix's very good short story collection Across the Wall and Paul Park's critical favorite The Princess of Roumania are now out in mass market paperback.

Mary Janice Davidson has released a new book in her very funny vampire series - Undead and Unpopular.

Julian May has released a third book in the Boreal Moon series -- Sorceror's Moon.

Is May more Fantasy than Sci-Fi? (I'm afraid I may have her in the wrong category ) *****
Before, you are wise; after, you are wise. In between you are otherwise.
Fravashi saying (from the formularies of Osho the Fool) <i></i>

She is one of many fine science fiction writers (including such authors as Catherien Asaro and Lois McMaster Bujold)who have recently made the move over to fantasy.

From what I have been told, the Boreal Moon books are more fantasy than science fiction, but Joy could tell us for sure if she drops into this thread. ******************************************************
