I will also be visiting California and Arizona in March, Chicago in April, and I’ll be at Elf Fantasy Fair in the Netherlands in April, too.    I may drop in on the Chicago Comic Con, too. Anyone else going to be there?

And of course, July will find me as the Guest of Honor at Westercon, in Seattle, WA! 

I’ll post details on those dates as they get closer.

If you’re reading this on Livejournal, you’ll need to go to Robinhobb.com to see what I’m talking about.

On the right side of the screen is a quick listing of places where I’ll be visiting.  If you think that’s the only listing, you’ll feel frustrated, as no times or addresses appear there.

To see the complete listing, look at the top of the page and click on Appearances.  Now you will see all dates, times, addresses, phone numbers for all appearances schedules so far in 2012.  For some events, such as Tucson Festival of Books and other multi day conventions, a more detailed schedule will appear when I receive one.   Often the schedule is not set until the final weeks.  But I’ll do my best to tell you exactly which panels I’ll be on, and when and where they will occur.

And thanks for caring enough to ask!

Robin

So if you haven’t begun to read the Rain Wild Chronicles yet,  this is a great chance to catch up!

This contest is for US residents!

I just know you are all having a wonderful time!  Wish I were there, too!

“Hi Robin
as usual Aussies miss out on the discount price.
We pay on Amazon $9.36. Thanks Harper Collins.”

And Tracey wasn’t the only one. 

 If you feel like readers are not heard, well, you are. 

It’s going to take a few days to get this up and going, but check the e-book price on Dragon Keeper next week. Publishers do want to keep you happy! And writers want you to be happy.

So, my sincere thanks to HarperCollins in Australia!

Feel free to scroll down a bit and sample those other books as well!

In less upbeat news, Diane Duane has been the victim of identity theft. The thieves drained her bank account and she is left in the lurch for funds until this is straightened out.  The full tale of woe is here.

What can you do about it?  Well, as her account relates, you can visit her e-book site  and add a few of her books to your reader.  I highly recommend So You Want To Be A Wizard in any format!  And she has generously offered to let her misfortune be your good luck.  If you use the discount code DDgotskimmed, you will get a 20% discount!  And add some great books to your e-reader.

In a bit of ‘grrr’ news, Diane Duane has been the victim of identity theft. The thieves drained her bank account and until it is straightened out, she is a bit in the lurch for funds.    Full story here.
