Silverheart US edition

[Lord Doom]

Hi all. I just got back from a managers meetings with BGI, and was awarded a new advance readers copy of my choice. Just so happens they had one for SILVERHEART to be published by PYR/Prometheus in the US -- finally!

I didn't even know that this was going on. Did I miss the announcement somewhere? Anyway, preorder now if you haven't already gotten it from the UK.

Just got in from the 2 day meeting in Memphis, and it's a long 2 hours drive to Little Rock. Need to strecth the legs.

I'll check back soon.

Hope you like it. That's the main reason I'm doing some signings this Fall!

Hi Mike,

I hope so too ;) I've only had a chance to read the intro and dustjacket, plus glance through the contents (seeing familiar names). I can't wait to dive into it.

After WWS, I didn't expect to see another one of your fantasies, and I never got around to using Amazon.UK to grab a copy of this... I nearly fell over when I saw the ARC standing on the awards table! Now I have to make certain I order some for the store.

Will you be posting your book signing schedule for the book? If you're in the area (what's left after Rita gets through with the South, that is), I'll see if I can make one.

The was a very pleasant surprise, since the last I had heard here at the board was that a US editon was unlikely. I'm glad that it happened, though.

Now I just need to wait for the last of Elric:MOAS ;) I know Walt will make it worth the wait, however, and perhaps DC will trade it up since it is "off the schedule." It would probably have better sales numbers being in BOTH bookstore and the direct market.

And good luck, Mike, with Rita. I should have what's left of it on Sunday up here in LR.

OOPs,

I just saw the other "book signing" thread. My bad. Still haven't recovered from the last few days. *Must pay more attention*

:)

I'm not doing a signing tour as such -- just a few where I happen to be in the US this Fall -- i.e. the Bay Area and Austin. Any I'm doing are sure to be noted here, but I haven't heard back about the Bay Area yet.

Are the Pyr and Schuster editions the same?

For what it's worth, I prefer the cover of the Pyr edition.

[Michael Moorcock]

Yes, essentially the same. I prefer the Pyr edition, too.

Here is a little insight into how Mike and Storm Constantine went about writing 'Silverheart' -

also some news on a follow-up, called 'Dragonskin.'

In fact, the Texan Moorcock and the English Constantine have only met a few times at conventions, but Moorcock is a big fan of Constantine's Wraeththu stories.

As they say, never let the facts get in the way of a good story. :lol:

Are you suggesting that something on the internet isn't true? :?

Is that possible?

What in the nine is the sci-fi channel thinking? :lol:

They must just make stuff up and write it for the sci-fi wire, not to mention doing any research. They must have a writer like that guy in that "Shattered Glass" movie, who in real life wrote fake articles. ;)

...but Texas loves me, anyway... :)

That's good to hear! :lol:
