Hobb on the Internet
As long as I'm on this topic, here are a couple of other Hobb information
places.
Mervi is in charge of The
Plenty, a Hobb wiki and news place.
In addition to this website, I also have a Hobb MySpace
where, against my better judgement, I sometimes blog. If you'd like a sneak
preview of the prologue for Dragonkeeper, check the blog for August 5,
2008. There are a couple of drafts of it there.
And then there is Facebook moderated by
the incomparable Crooty, artist and friend. If you haven't seen her
interpretation of the Farseer Map, you really should visit there.
There is also a Robin
Hobb Yuku group, founded by Willem Timmer, friend and bibilophile.
And, I blush to admit, there really is a Robin Hobb Livejournal. If you are
so inclined, you can find it at www.robin-hobb.livejournal.com And finally,
the place I check at least twice a day and where I most enjoy visiting with
readers and other writers: The Robin
Hobb newsgroup at sff.net. This is the place to come if you have a
question you want to ask me directly. I do my best to answer promptly. We
also have discussions on almost every imaginable topic. Feel free to jump
in and introduce yourself. Good people there. Allow yourself some time to
explore sff.net if you've never been there. Too much good stuff to
describe!
Pictures
The Robin Hobb photobucket has been updated with
a few stills from The Dragon Keeper book trailer. As soon as we release
that onto the Internet, I'll post a link here. You will also find a photo
album with pictures from Imaginales 2008. I had a wonderful time.
Other Bits of News
I have turned in and Gardner has accepted my 'short' story for the Warriors anthology that he and
George RR Martin are editing for Tor. My contribution is called The Triumph, and is based on a very
real incident during the First Punic War. George has blogged about the
anthology. Again, it looks like I'll be in very good company. I am
currently hard at work on a story for the anthology "Star Crossed
Lovers."
