Packing up the website! Farewell, sff.net
You probably won’t notice any difference, really. But for many years, my websites (robinhobb.com and meganlindholm.com) have been hosted on Sff.net And sadly, Sff.net is closing up shop.

Autographed Book Plates again
Especially around the holidays, I receive requests for signed books. I always feel a bit sad to tell readers that I am not able to either sell and ship to them an autographed book, nor can I allow them to mail be a book to me for me to sign and return to them. We have… Continue Reading
