Hi, i'm new here and I have a big question. As much as I love Megan Whalen Turner, her website is sadly lacking. So what I want to know is, does she still do appearances/book signings? Is she working on any other books? Is there another source for info like this then the official website? Thank You! (Sorry if this is posted, I went into the archives but I couldn't find it.)

her website is sadly lacking

*shakes head sadly* Yes. Yes, it is. Some people have said that. :PPPPP

Megan has said that she is working on another book in the series. She does some signings--where abouts do you live? (Continent? Country? State?) This site is probably the best source for info. What do you want to know? We can steer you in the right direction!

Augh, it DOES say trilogy. Members of Sounis wrote the Wikipedia articles about the books. The one about MWT (not sure who wrote that one) should say that it's a series, not a trilogy!

[livejournal.com profile] beatlelove927, MWT is very responsive to her fans. Email her at the address on her website if you have specific questions you wish she might answer. And welcome! We're happy to have you posting here.

Well, she's working on the 4th book in the trilogy but has given no indication of when we might expect it.

In the meantime, if you didn't already know, there is a short story included in the paperback King of Attolia, and someone (=>checkers) has a link to a Disney story about Young!Gen.

Welcome! And I'm in Wisconsin, so double welcome! We need to poke her about coming into the area for book signings and triple espresso tours of used book stores.

Ok, here's the Thief! short story from Disney Adventures magazine for those of you who haven't seen it. You can download it for 7 days, then the link will expire.

p.s. if the answer to this is anything around "this upcoming fall while Jade is in France" the results will NOT BE PRETTY. I can sulk for days and days and days and days and days. And days. After all, Gen is one of my favorite characters. I can only learn from the best. :-b

No, no, dear, those are Beatles, not Crickets. Beatlelove said so, right where it says "Current Music."

Are you sure the crickets aren't the sad sound of a website languishing?

Let's examine our options:

a)author worries about or spends time updating or changing website
b)author says, "The heck with the website, I'd rather spend my time working on the next book."

Show of hands, please: how many of you prefer a)? b?)

I am still blown away that MWT took the time last year to stop on a drive with all her family up the east coast to chat for an hour or so with 2 of us at a bookstore in Connecticut, at which time she did allow as how she was working on Book 4 (what an awful sentence!). It was a nice bookstore (the Book Barn in Niantic), but still--above and beyond.

gee, thanks Megan--but what is a BNFF? Best new friend forever???? I am so not au current. Google was no help, suggesting the Buffalo Niagara film festival.

Charlotte, YOU are my Buffalo Film Festival. You and no other.

Alternatively, we can go with Big Name Fan mashed with Best Friend Forever to get Big Name Fan Forever. It's what I had in mind at first, although I do like Buffalo. But don't worry supercheck. I can have more than one. It says so in my contract.

Hooray! If you're taking Charlotte to Buffalo I wanna come, too. Well, not really to Buffalo. Maybe there's a film festival somewhere nicer. I had to buy snow boots for a trip to Buffalo one January. There's probably still snow there. The same snow from 1998.
