For anyone who missed the virtual launch party, the recording is finally uploaded. A great interview!

Megan Whalen Turner discusses The Return of the Thief, the final Queen's Thief novel:

Watch it here!

For those wondering about spoilers: She discusses the series overall and the process of writing the final book, but keeps plot details to a minimum (seeing as this was the day the book was released and most people hadn't read it yet).

The interview starts at about 1 minute in, and runs about 30 minutes.

This was recorded on Day 4 of ConVergence, earlier this month. (Which seems longer ago than that, already.)

The BBC recently aired a documentary called "Terry Pratchett, Back In Black". There's lots of Pratchett. It's 49 minutes, & here:

From: "M. Haller Yamada"
Subject: [LMB] Interview with Lois about self-publishing is up
To: "Discussion of the Works of Lois McMaster Bujold."
<lois-bujold@lists.herald.co.uk>

Lois was very kind to consent to answer three questions about self-publishing,
and I think the writers in our group will find it very interesting -- a great
digest of her e-pub career with special notes on The Spirit Ring and the two
Penrics.

It's on the Eight Ladies Writing blog, here:
https://eightladieswriting.com/2016/06/25/michaeline-lois-mcmaster-bujold-answers-three-questions-about-self-publishing/

Please come and read, comment and share with anyone you think will be interested.
I don't think Lois will be necessarily around to answer any questions asked on
the blog (although, Lois, you are certainly welcome too!), but if we have enough
fans around, we can probably find interviews that help answer any questions.

Also, if you like writing sprints, may I recommend my friend Elizabeth's Friday
column? She produces a list of random words, sometimes with a bonus phrase, and
the loose rules make it a great way to get a little creativity in your life over
the weekend. Monday is a good time to visit if you just want to read what our
commenters have come up with.

https://eightladieswriting.com/2016/06/24/elizabeth-friday-writing-sprints-is-it-hot-in-here/

I hope you enjoy the blog!

Now, I'm off to re-read Penric's new adventure! My heart is full of happy
feelings. Just love these characters, all of them! I really hope we do see new
adventures in a year or so. They make a great team!

For some time now, whenever I come across an interview with Mrs. Turner I've been filing away a link away in a word-document. So I thought I'd post all the links here, for easy reference.

Caution: The reading of these interviews may cause Not-Telling Overdose, with symptoms including, but not limited to, frustration, sleeplessness, and the urge to reread all of the books again.

Excerpt from CoK:

Sounis turned to the magus. "Did you know?"

"That he was relentless?" The magus finished his question. "Yes. That he had this in mind, no. I did not realize that he disliked the ambassador so much."

"Melheret has a reputation as one of the best swordsmen in the Mede court," a soldier informed them, having overheard. "They say he trained the former ambassador, Nahuseresh."

"Ah," said the magus, understanding at once. "I see that he means to be prepared if he meets him again."

"Surely that's unlikely," said Sounis.

"I don't think unlikely means to him what it does to the rest of us," said the magus.

Sorry magus, I'm starting to agree with Sophos.

Let's do some math, folks!
The Thief 1996
Five years later: QoA 2001
Five years later: KoA 2006
Four years later: CoK 2010

As of yesterday, it has been five years since CoK was released. I think we're due.

Yet, no news. Interviews from MWT have dwindled. Sounis has grown quiet. The majority of posts by its members tend to be about other fandoms, or asking for reading suggestions. Because we have NOTHING to read.

Will Eugenides ever get his revenge? #watchoutpointybeard #swordskillz

Will the Eddisians escape the sacred mountain in time? #ohnolava #zipcodechange

Will we ever find out why the woman in the kitchen still includes sand in certain recipes? #what'swrongwiththegravy #i'mnothungry

Is the poor elephant doomed to wait ten years before he is stolen from a nameless intimidator? #impatientpachyderm #omghowcanistealthat

Will I ever break this cycle of despair when I read those fatal words, "'You gave me the gun.' They both laughed." and realize I just finished the book, with nothing new in sight? #whatnow

I know, I know. Stop whining and go to bed.

This has been a pity party by puppeteergirl. #icandoanythingiwant #smashinginkpots

I'm crossing paths with our Author Divine next week and she's agreed to attempt a video interview with questions fielded from Sounis. Perhaps she can not tell us all we've ever wanted to know!

Look back through the interview and meetup archives. What do you wish you could have asked? What do want to hear more about? (Other than Costis)

Submit your questions and topics of discussion in the comments. For an almost face to face experience, use your handy dandy phone or laptop camera to record your own message and questions to be included, and email the clip to heetasprague@gmail.com

Be quick-like. I'll close submissions Monday night, April 21. (Yes, two days. Embrace the spontaneity). If my videography attempts fail wildly I will still contribute a write-up.

please the gods, let the technology curse lift just this once

And now I would like a little recognition for the almost professional tone I almost pulled off, almost free of ridiculous fan girl glee squeals.

Sorry these are so late. I've been a bit busy with family things. Anyway, notes and pictures under the cut.

( Megan Whalen Turner on the importance of teaching books to children )

I seem to remember other people had cameras, and hopefully someone else in the group is willing to share their photos to make up for mine?

mwt comes in for some love in this short interview with Beth Bernobich:

http://www.tor.com/blogs/2013/09/sleeps-with-monsters-beth-bernobich-answers-seven-questions

I enjoyed Bernobich's ya novel _Fox & Phoenix_. When an author's taste [in other authors] is this good, maybe her other books are worth checking out.

Then I have a treat for you. :) Thankfully my family members know of my many deep and abiding loves, because as they were listening to this particular station (Classical 89.1) that I really enjoy, they heard the magic words "Megan Whalen Turner interview" spoken and speed dialed me faster than Han Solo can pull a gun against Greebo.

Needless to say I planted my butt in a chair instantly (and loved it, static and all). But better STILL, this great radio station has put the entire half hour interview up for download. I'm already looking into the rest of their series of "Thinking Aloud" programs. So naturally I had to share the good news. We've got each other's backs here. ^_^

So I posted the pictures, and now here's the words to go with 'em.

( My (lengthy and yet lacking) account of the event, for those interested. )

And hey, did anyone go to LeakyCon and see Megan there? If so, please tell us about it!
