A Writer's Journal: September 2007
http://davidforbes.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 17, 2007. Robert Jordan has died. Oddly enough, I just started reading the eleventh volume, KNIFE OF DREAMS, last night, a few hours after his death (though I did not find out about it until this morning). A memorial discussion is occurring at Making Light. Rest in peace, Robert. Sunday, September 16, 2007. Book signing in Wyomissing. I've set up a second signing at the Borders in the Berkshire Mall in Wyomissing, on Saturday, November 10, from 1 to 3 pm. The address of the mall is:.

Tuesday, January 22, 2008. Prologue to THE COMMANDING STONE is now online. I just posted the Prologue to Book Three over at my website. For those of you who've slogged through the first two books and want to get a peek at where things are going, head on over and check it out! Direct link to the page is here. Monday, January 07, 2008. This past Saturday I took a beginners' class in ballroom dancing. The three dances were the Rumba, Foxtrot, and Tango. To my great surprise, I really enjoyed myself! Now I'm...

A Writer's Journal: The 411 on THE COMMANDING STONE
http://davidforbes.blogspot.com/2008/08/411-on-commanding-stone.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2008. The 411 on THE COMMANDING STONE. The third book in the series is done and with my editor. I sent it to my wonderful agent Matt Bialer first, who (to my complete surprise) suggested no changes! He said there were one or two minor things to consider, but he didn't want me to bother with them before sending it to my editor at HarperCollins to get her feedback. The way you deal with this writing thing is surprising. Very often I read blogs of people who put an insane effort in...

A Writer's Journal: A political rant on the bailout and Republican racist propaganda
http://davidforbes.blogspot.com/2008/10/political-rant-on-bailout-and.html
Thursday, October 02, 2008. A political rant on the bailout and Republican racist propaganda. My fiance received an email from a relative with a link to this YouTube clip that claims the melt down on Wall Street is really the fault of a 30-year-old housing program called the Community Reinvestment Act. See the YouTube clip here. The exploding economy is the fault of. Lie about all of that, can they? Yes, they can! And they will continue to do so! CRA has been around for 31 years, with nary a problem with...

A Writer's Journal: Cover art sketch for THE COMMANDING STONE
http://davidforbes.blogspot.com/2008/10/cover-art-sketch-for-commanding-stone.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Cover art sketch for THE COMMANDING STONE. I received this last night from my editor. I think it looks pretty cool. The artist is a guy named Brian Birdsong. Tristan Schane, the wonderfully talented artist who did the covers for my first two novels, was unfortunately unavailable to do the third. I'm happy with the concept, and hope the final rendition looks just as good. My name is Mrs Sharon Sim. I live in Singapore and i am a happy woman today? View my complete profile.

Saturday, August 04, 2007. Messageboards have returned from the grave. Unfortunately, all of the posts made prior to the board crash are still dead and have no chance at a second life through zombie-fication (trust me, I tried). The new board is powered by Simple Machines Forum software that is part of the hosting package I have with GoDaddy (yes, that. GoDaddy), well-known for having big-boobed chicks flaunt their assets in Super Bowl ads. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

A Writer's Journal: THE AMBER WIZARD just published in Germany
http://davidforbes.blogspot.com/2008/08/amber-wizard-just-published-in-germany.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2008. THE AMBER WIZARD just published in Germany. My first novel has just been published in Germany by a division of Random House. For some reason I just think this is so cool! Yes, I'm a complete geek about this.). Here's the cover. I have no idea what it's supposed to represent! It looks a little like how I described Castle Ailethon, but since I had nothing to do with the translation or the cover that's only a wild guess. But I kinda like it! 2 Telephone Numbers:……….

Sunday, August 24, 2008. What I've been reading. I just finished NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. Before that, I read Michael Chabon's wonderful THE YIDDISH POLICEMEN'S UNION. His mastery of the English language is unrivaled, and I found myself highlighting dozens of inventive phrasings. What if the attempt to settle Palestine by the Jews after WWII had failed? Where would they go? Monday, August 18, 2008. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Turning in THE COMMANDING STONE fulfills my three-novel contract with HarperColl...
