As you can see, the cover art for the Portuguese translation of The Painted Man, O Homen Pintado, has been finalized. I think it’s pretty badass, and it’s the first PM cover to contain spears and a warded shield, which are very significant items in the series. (You may have noticed that there wasn’t [...]
Casting Contest Update
Big thanks to Matt Bergin for taking over the Peephole for the Casting Call guest post. I want him to illustrate my blog more often. His picture was extremely accurate, except he put the painting of Arlen where my office window is.
The window that faces a friggin’ daycare center full of screaming kids that make [...]
Desert Spear Excision: Rojer’s Mummery
I’ve just made a new addition to the Excisions page, a deleted scene from The Desert Spear entitled Rojer’s Mummery. Normally I would wait until the book was published to print deleted scenes, but this one is spoiler-free and involves characters from the first book, so I thought it would be a fun thing [...]
My Precious
So a couple of weeks ago, I was pulling all-nighters every day while working on the second draft of The Desert Spear. I was essentially working till 4am every night, sleeping until the baby woke me up between 6-7, and then going back to sleep until about 10. One morning I hauled myself out of [...]
Cover Assignment
Hi all. Sorry there’s been nothing to see in the Peephole lately. I promise to correct that starting now. I actually have some great things to post, but I’ve been pulling all-nighters for about two weeks straight to finish the Desert Spear rewrite (done, as of 3am last night!) and have neglected just about everything [...]
The Desert Spear is Done
I’m going to bed.
Guest Post: Casting Call Contest
Hello, fans and friends of Peter V. Brett!
That’s seems a bit wordy. Would you mind if I call you Peatlings? Actually, forget that. It suggests you’re all a bunch of tiny Peats, and that would just be creepy. I’ve got it–The Warded Fans! So…
Greetings, Warded Fans!
My name is Matt and I will be guest-hosting this [...]
Scyla y Fantasymundo Entrevistas
Two new interviews today, these done for my Spanish publisher, Minotauro, who have recently released the Spanish translation of The Warded Man, El Hombre Marcado.
The interviews were conducted in English and then translated into Spanish, but Alejandro Serrano, the interviewer, was kind enough to post both versions, so if you don’t read Spanish, don’t fret! [...]
Warded Option
So the best thing about the Warded/Painted Man movie option so far is that I got to meet Milla Jovovich.
No, seriously.
I love Milla Jovovich. Ironically, it’s not in the way most nerds of my ilk love her. I think of her as a musician.
I listen to music all the time. When I read, when I [...]
