Lyanna Stark Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Oh this looks like an excellent story :) I put it on my wishlist on Amazon so I won't forget it. The worst bit was that Amazon.co.uk then went on to recommend me "Twlight" as something I'd also like to read... :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyanna Stark Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It was extra odd, since it gave me suggested titles by Adrian Tchaikovsky and S.L Farrell and the suddenly Twilight. I'll put it down to Amazon's arcane ways of trying to divine what your taste in books are. "SF/SFF? Clearly you just have to like Twilight and Eragon. We sell lots of those and according to our records you have not yet purchased any copies. Now you must buy them too, yes precious....you mussst." EDIT: And who knows, if you get recommended to the Twilight bunch, you may even acquire Fangirls, such as they are. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm not sure I'd quite know what to think of about hardcore female fans of a series in which the lead girl considers it a prudent use of her [i]entire[/i] existence to serve a slightly psychopathic man. And have his child. Now there's a dark Freudian mess I'd be scared to let near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinuviel Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm looking forward to this one too. Plus, it has got a pretty nifty cover too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCN Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 [quote name='Calibandar' post='1713991' date='Mar 9 2009, 20.38']Hey Mark How many books are planned in the Legends of the Red Sun series?[/quote] Hi Calibandar - well, I've planned four books to tackle the main threads, although I want each of those books to stand alone as best as possible, and for each with a totally different feel, too. So a quartet, but not a quartet. I was only contracted for two books with Pan Macmillan in the first instance though, so I'll have everything crossed they want to continue the series. That said, I have a multiverse planned out, so there's much more that can follow and build on these things in very different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry. Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I suppose...one of my students hates that I call the fourth Meyer book [i]Breaking Wind[/i], after she brought it to class one day with the price sticker covering the "Dawn." Always fun teasing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylanfanatic, without the quote there, I assumed you were talking about scat. (Fuck this shit.) If you were, shame on you, sir! I'd love to see the look on my editor's face as she posted the manuscript back to me - with my contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
