Running out of the hotel this morning, so I don’t get to respond to each post as I like to! Many thanks for all your good wishes. And yes, Jackie Morris is a treasure. You can buy all her children’s books and pretend they are gifts for children. And then, of course, keep them for yourself!!!

Tonight I fly for Melbourne. Hope to see many readers there.

Thankyou for that confirmation Robin and, yes, Jackie Morris has created some gorgeous works of art to complement your truly special words of art.

Echoing Jessica’s sentiment, “We love you here!”

I did really enjoy the Megan Lindholm stories too. I have a very special spot in my heart for political high fantasy. A spot that was created by you and is now inhabited by other authors like George R R Martin and… Well honestly only you and he do that style of novel any justice.

My favourite of the Megan ones was A Touch of Lavender. So sad.

Oh Robin – her work is so lovely… thanks for the link. I am a bit in awe of her other works. I have loved the last series of your covers..

I read Steven Brust’s “Freedom and Necessity” which was extraordinary – so I know it may just take a bit of time! I can’t imagine how that process of collaboration works….

Sorry we didn’t turn on our best autumn weather for you.. but then you will go home to a wonderful spring! I hope

Hi Robin,
So glad you’ve been treated well so far! I’m sure Melbourne will be the same
and we hope you’ll come and visit us again sometime!

Hi Jessica!
Well, thanks so much for being at Brisbane. I felt very welcome and SupaNova treated all of us so well that I can’t wait to do the one in Melbourne! Australia has been great for me!

Joshua, so glad you’re feeling better. A grass allergy? That’s going to be a bit hard to avoid! Best of luck on that and I hope they can find a way so you don’t have such an extreme reaction again!
Let me know what you think of the Megan Lindholm stories when you get a chance, here or at meganlindholm.com

Thanks!
Robin

Hi Jann! I'll be hoping to see you tonight at the Dendy, then! The Jackie Morris covers are beautiful, aren't they? Have you visited her website? You will really enjoy it. And let me know what you think of The Gypsy when you get a chance. Steve Brust and I had such fun writing together.

Hi Netta!
I think it was only Reindeer People and Wolf’s Brother that were in stock at the moment. But I think you could order the others at a bookstore or online site if you wished!
Thanks for coming to see me at SupaNova!

G’day everyone.

For any of you who also went to Supernova in Brissie, was it only the newly-covered copies of The Reindeer People and Wolf’s Brother (which I bought) that were available from Lindholm stock for purchase?

I know all the Hobb books were represented there (I bought more spares than I should’ve!) in the Dymocks stand but hope I didn’t bypass Ki and Vandien books etc that may have been right there in front of me?! I’m pretty sure there weren’t any but thought I’d best check after someone has asked about them.

Thanks!

Netta
