@_TheVoyager_ will be doing an exclusive interview with Robin Hobb next week. You can send them your questions: if you have a twitter account, just tweet or DM @_TheVoyager_ and if you don’t, you can email them to thevoyager@harpercollins.co.uk . Joining twitter is fun, free and easy (and while you’re at it, consider following @theplentynet as well!)
As a side note—if updates are a bit slow in the next few days it’s simply because I’m lost in the Rain Wilds—my copy of the Dragon Keeper finally arrived today! :)
Pat from Fantasy HotList has posted a new excerpt from The Dragon Keeper—this is not the same one that Voyager posted earlier. You can read the excerpt here. Great treat for those of us who are still impatiently waiting for our books!
The Dragon Keeper at amazon.co.uk is climbing the bestsellers lists, it’s already in the top 10 of “new releases” and in the top 50 of all titles.
The UK edition of Robin Hobb’s brand new book The Dragon Keeper is out today. Online sellers have reportedly already sent out notes that the books are being shipped and copies should also be available in UK stores today. The book is already listed in several of amazon.co.uk’s bestsellers lists, including the top 20 of “new releases”. Order The Dragon Keeper from amazon.co.uk
The Dragon Keeper is the first part of the Rain Wild Chronicles and takes place after the events of Fool’s Fate. You can find more details about this book in the wiki and read an extract at Voyager’s blog.
Here’s a new version of the trailer for Robin Hobb’s upcoming book The Dragon Keeper.
I know the trailers say “available in July”, but both the HarperCollins/Voyager sites and amazon.co.uk are still listing 25th of June as the release date—the Australian release date seems to be July 1st though.
The Voyager team just posted an exclusive early extract from The Dragon Keeper at their blog. That means spoilers obviously, but I at least simply can’t resist the temptation of reading it!
Details are added as they come in or I find them. Apparently the event in Staines posted at some of the sources is not a public event, just a stock signing. Please also note that some of the Waterstone’s events seem to have a small attendance fee.
The original starting point for thePlenty.net, the fanlisting for Robin Hobb, has reached 500 members! A big thank you to everyone who has joined so far. :)
What’s a fanlisting? It’s simply a list of admirers of a specific subject. The listings are categorized and monitored by tFL.org network. There are no costs to join and you don’t even need a website of your own. You just sign up with your name and country to show your appreciation. :)
I discovered fanlistings in the early months of 2003 and was furious to find out I couldn’t join one for Robin because it didn’t exist. (Very few author/writer fls did at that point.) So I had to of course start it myself, and that’s how this site was born. Although I included news about the books from the start, I certainly didn’t envision the site to be this big one day. The fanlistings here are now just a small part of the whole, but for me every milestone is still a reason for celebration. Please consider adding your name to the list if you haven’t done so already! :)
Robin Hobb will do a book tour in the UK from July 4th to July 12th. The only confirmed place and date I have so far is Borders Glasgow on Monday 6th July at 6.30pm—but stay tuned for more!
