Mr T (and I don’t mean Tolkien)

One last thing before I slither of to bed – because it’s related to Voyager in the sense of The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien being published by Voyager … if you go to Google and search for “Find Mr T” you’ll come across the Mr T quote generator … and stumble across this gem:

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their hall of stone,
Nine for the Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
Twenty rings to make Mr. T look cool,
Upon them inscribed, “I pity the fool.”

NB. Do a search on ‘Find Chuck Norris” too – if you’re a fan (or not). And don’t pity the fool, Mr T will handle that.

Being GRRM in the face of a deadline

I was just kicking around on the internet, wondering when George R R Martin’s next book will come out (we’re publishing it, so I suppose I could go and get an educated answer but am being one with the masses right now). Anyway, I stumbled upon his journal, okay, stumbled in the sense of knowing where it is, obviously, but noticed he had written a small paragraph on how he finished an Arya chapter and a Sansa chapter …

Woefully for us A Song of Ice and Fire fans, he is also working on OTHER anthologies instead of knuckling down to the hard yards and completing the other half of the book we all read two years ago, A Feast for Crows.

Go and read his journal and whinge at him, won’t you?

Incidentally, before I get your hopes up, I should point out in the words of the great GRRM: before you guys assume I’m writing a chapter a day, I said “finished,” not “wrote.” Large portions of these particular chapters were written years ago. A chapter a day? I wish.

I wish too! All I know is that it will be worth the wait, but lots of things can go wrong in the mean time eg. the end of the world.
