Magick 4 Terri

If it wasn’t for Terri Windling, much of today’s fantasy would be very different or might not exist at all. Bordertown would not have been created, and there would be no Welcome to Bordertown for me to have a story in.

Right now, Terri is having some difficulties and a huge number of authors, illustrators, fans and admirers have banded together to create an auction to raise funds to help her. There are multiple pages of amazing items up for bid. Use the link above the heading “About Us” to scroll back through previous pages. There are also links to specific items in the left column.

And yes, I have donated something. If you want to bid on a poster of the Cliff Nielsen cover for the first edition hardback of Blood and Chocolate, signed by me, here’s your chance.

Make sure to read some important information on how to bid. The auction ends on December 15, 2011.

COVERS!

This past year has been a great one for foreign editions. I thought I'd share a few covers here.

Swedish B&C



Turkish Silver Kiss



Italian B&C



German B&C



A Croatian edition is in the works. That should be interesting.

A Werewolf Song inspired by Blood and Chocolate!

Well, the fact that Craig Robertson commented on my last post and tipped me off to a great movie reminded me to get my butt in gear and tell you about the wonderful song he sent me a few weeks ago called "Werewolf Country". It will be on his next CD due out in the summer of 2009. He composed the song after his 12 year-old daughter convinced him to read Blood and Chocolate. I was blown away that someone would be inspired to write a song because of the book, and very impressed with a father who shares his daughter's reading experiences with enthusiasm. The song is catchy and right on the mark, although I have to say I would have never linked werewolves and ukuleles in the same thought stream before this. LOL
Apparently there is a whole ukulele movement that I was unaware of which has enlightened me as to how cool and diverse ukulele music can be. Check out Ukulele Noir.
