A spot of light signing work for the Book Addiction signed and numbered limited editions of all six Old Kingdom books.

Still life with boxes of pages to be signed, some signed SABRIEL pages on a table, blue Sharpies, and on the window ledge behind there are flowers, a mannequin of Mister Fitz, and a plush Disreputable Dog.

My Australian event schedule for MASSIF. A corrected version of my Australian tour graphic, as the previous one had the wrong Robinsons store. It will be Glen Waverley, not Frankston. UK details coming soon. No US tour this year, my apologies. www.allenandunwinblog.com/events/garth...

It's publication day for MASSIF (here in Australia, where we live in the future, but it will be soon elsewhere). Please go forth (or stay in) and order your copy. Or copies 😀 Here in Australia, I'm happy MASSIF is a book of the month with the QBD chain, in fine company. They have signed copies.

It was a long time ago, audiobooks were still on cassette/CD, so no online samples or anything. The producer emailed me suggesting Tim Curry, among some others. I replied "That guy should change his name to avoid confusion with THE Tim Curry". They came back with "we mean THE Tim Curry" . . .

I am sad to hear that Tim Curry has died. He was a wonderful actor. I was very fortunate that he narrated the audiobooks of SABRIEL, LIRAEL, and ABHORSEN, which brought many people to the original trilogy.
