It’s refreshing to see someone who can bring back your good mood in a bad day but it does not happen often enough…

I’m one of your French fan. I read the books of the Liveship Traders after the Tawny Man Trilogy and truly loved them (to answer a question made before)!

I’m very curious to know the story of Fitz family before his coming… So I often make wish that you will be inspired some day by this story!

It is unnecessary to post this to your blog, but I REALLY would like to know more about the Fool/Beloved, and while I know it is corny and done in many other series and not very original –I WOULD read about the Fool/Beloved if you wrote his history (first or third person, but I personally would like first person) from the time he was a child to his leaving for his school from the six Duchies.
I really have no idea if this would bore you to tears, sparkles any interest at all, or if you would dismiss the premise altogether, but I hope this does spark some interest in writing more about the Fool, who is by far my favorite fiction character of all time.

Sorry for posting in the “wrong” thread stream.

Thank you,

Dianne

Like you, I love both books and movies. I greatly enjoyed seeing Peter Jackson’s version of Lord of the Rings. When they made Robert Parker’s Appaloosa into a movie, I was there for the first day showing. So I certainly believe that a movie can do justice to a book, in the right hands, and that it can even bring out aspects that perhaps the reader hadn’t previously considered.

But writers don’t really get to decide to make a movie of a book. They have to wait until someone makes the offer to do it, and then each writer has to weigh if that is the right person to make the movie. Even if it is, it is a precarious process that may fall apart at any stage along the way. So, the bottleneck gets narrower all along the way, as few movies are optioned, fewer move into production and even fewer emerge as finished movies with distribution.

With that said, would I like to see a Farseer movie? In the right hands, I think I’d love it!

But, until that right person comes along, I’ll just keep on writing my books. When I’m writing a book, I can cast absolutely anyone I want, and I have an unlimited budget for special effects!

I tried to write all the trilogies, and even each book, so it could be a satisfying read even if one was all you ever read. I tried to make each one have a beginning, middle and an end to at least a few story lines. Obviously, I’d much rather you read all of them, but I still think they work as stand alones.

If you go back and read the Liveships now, you’ll know a few things that readers didn’t know when the books orginally came out. Will the books work for you still? Well, there is a lot going on in them, so I hope they will!

With best wishes,

Robin

As you can see above, I edited your note so your personal address doesn’ t show, and I’ll send you a separate email to respond to what you asked.

Australia! Oh, I would love to come back and visit again!! Unfortunately, that’s not in the plans for me right now. But take good care of your amazing country until I can get back and look at it again, please! No more of those horrible fires, okay? It was heartbreaking to read about those.

Thanks for your comments on the books!

With best wishes,

Robin

I just wanted to say that I am absolutely LOVING Dragon Haven. Although, last night I was reading in my backyard with my two fat cats on either side of me (Fitzy Fitz and Molly Polly are their names. ) and i just had to put it down. I was so worked up over that bloody Jess before the wave hit!
I don’t expect this to go on the site, I just wasn’t sure how else to contact you privately so as to not broadcast my address.
One other question for you before I go, do you think you will make to Australia at some stage? I did attend one of your readings in London when Fool’s Fate was released. It was so exciting to hear you read and meet you afterwards. Your books are the only books that I have ever re-read. Whenever I finish a book and don’t have a new one to go onto I pick up one of yours and am immediately sucked back in to your world. I loved that you gave us a visit with Brashen and Althea, Paragon and their little boy in Dragon Keeper. It was like catching up with old friends.
Ok, I am sure you are inundated at the moment so I won’t go on. Although I could talk about your books for hours, days even!
Best wishes to you and thank you very much for the hours and hours of joy, anguish and elation that you have given me.
