Probably one of the most gratifying things about being a writer is seeing how one’s work inspires other people, either creatively or in their daily lives. There is no author I know that doesn’t love reading their fan mail, and who doesn’t have some prized letter or gift displayed in their office that came in [...]
More Fan Art
Two more fantastic entries in the Fan Art Contest to win an advance read copy of The Great Bazaar, these from Jess in France:
The first pic of Elona:
And of course, The Painted Man himself:
Keep the great entries coming everyone!
Contest Updates/Reminders
What?! Peat is doing not one, not two, but THREE blog updates in one night?
It’s true.
I just wanted to post a reminder that I am accepting submissions for the Fan Art Contest up until November 15, with the winner getting my one spare advance copy of The Great Bazaar, my limited edition collection of Arlen [...]
Je ne parle pas Francais tres bien…
Je parle… un peu. Un petite peu.
I know just enough French to tell people my name, and that I don’t speak French very well.
There was a time when I was a little better at it. I got an A- on my French NYS Regents exam, and then took another year of it in college, scoring [...]
Não temas a escuridão!
O Homem Pintado, the Portuguese translation of The Painted Man, went on sale yesterday! I am very excited about that. Portugal’s marketing campaign has been stellar. The publisher, Gailivro, created a TV and web trailer for the book that was fantastic, and meshed perfectly with the powerful cover art. They made awesome reversible demon t-shirts, [...]
I Can See the Floor
Lots of things going on these days. The Great Bazaar and Other Stories got its first online review yesterday on Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist, and it was quite positive. One more reason to enter the Fan Art Contest for a chance to win an advance copy 2 months before the book comes out. Why not enter [...]
Fan Art Contest
I’ve been putting this off for too long. I have a spare advance read copy of The Great Bazaar (on sale in January 2010, limited print run, pre-order now!), and I’ve been meaning to do a fan art contest for some time, but I keep delaying because I worry there won’t be enough entries.
But I [...]
Bag End
Still not sure what to name this new studio. My old office was, perhaps a bit ostentatiously, referred to as “the Library”, since it has always been my dream to have a huge personal library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a little ladder on wheels like Lex Luthor had in Superman the Movie. Of course, I [...]
This Old Studio
I haven’t been doing a lot of these “Hobbit-hole” updates lately, but don’t let that fool ya. I’ve been working round the clock for the last 2 weeks to get the new office studio up and running, and keeping the video diary. The only reason I haven’t been posting them is that I’ve been too [...]
More Portuguese Awesomeness
The Portuguese translation of The Painted Man, O Homem Pintado, is publishing on October 20. My last post showed the video trailer my Portuguese publisher, Gailivro, made, a live action bit of video to rival Fabryka Slow’s video trailer in sheer awesomeness.
Also, someone translated the Gailivro promo video and posted it to YouTube. [...]
