St. Louis note in Gilded Latten Bones: There's a casual reference to "Tholozan House". Tholozan is a street in St. Louis, a "main side street" (i.e., runs off a major artery); I've always been amused by that name. Accent's on the middle syllable. Steve/Stacey

"...with the delicacy of craftsmen harvesting fur from a dozing leopard." Yeah, Glen brought his A game for this one. Veteran, Bermuda Triangle Expeditionary Force 1993-1951

Does anyone know how to pronounce Chodo's surname? Does it rhyme with plague or Montague? For no particular reason, I always assumed it sounded like plague. Seajestre

Where can I find information about book signings?
by Scott Bonner 11 Nov '10

I live in St. Louis, so I figure, if Glen Cook is doing signings, he'll probably be doing some in the area. I'd like to meet him. My google-foo has failed me in finding information about his public appearances schedule. Does anyone know where to get that information? Thanks! -- Scott

Copy of Deadly Quicksilver Lies for Sale
by Marc Rikmenspoel 06 Nov '10

06 Nov '10

As we gear up for next weeks release of Gilded Latten Bones, I'm taking this opportunity to point out that I have a copy of Deadly Quicksilver Lies for sale on ebay, at the very cheap starting bid of $10. With that, you also get a copy of Faded Steel Heat and Whispering nickel Idols. Meanwhile, has anyone encountered Gilded Latten Bones yet? I remember that Cruel Zinc Melodies started turning up a week or more before its actual release date. Borders stores tend to put books on the shelves the weekend before their Tuesday release date, so I'll be checking around here in New Jersey this weekend...

Some Book Updates!
by Marc Rikmenspoel 09 Sep '10

First, many of you have probably noticed by now that Angry Lead Skies is back in print, and was picked up by the chain bookstores (Faded Steel Heat wasn't, for whatever reason). Some of the reprint have gone back out of print, and Red Iron Nights and Deadly Quicksilver Lies have not been recently reprinted at all (again, for whatever reason). I hope that when Gilded Latten Lovers comes out this Fall, the whole Garrett series can be in print. I was at a Barnes & Noble today, and saw the new Third Printing of the paperback of A Cruel Wind. Nightshade updated the "Works of Glen Cook" page in the front of the book, and now show that the final Dread Empire volume, to be included in The Wrath of Kings, will bear the title A Path to Coldness of Heart (those, of course, are the final 6 words of An Ill Fate Marshalling). Finally, Amazon<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0765306867/sr=1-1/qid=1276400204/ref=sr_1_…>now has the jacket blurb up for the third Instrumentalities book, Surrender to the Will of the Night: *Piper Hecht’s first and greatest secret is that he knows **how to kill gods. What’s not a secret is that he knows how to win wars *Piper Hecht’s secrets make him dangerous, but his skill and his reputation put him in danger—from his enemies, who fear what he might do, or who want revenge for what he has already done; and from his friends, who want to use his military gifts for their own purposes. His sister Heris and his living ancestor Cloven Februaren, the Ninth Unknown, have made Hecht part of their fight against the return of the dark god Kharoulke the Windwalker. At the same time, the half-mad Empress Katrin wants him to lead the armies of the Grail Empire eastward on a crusade against his old coreligionists the Praman. Meanwhile, all around them, the world is changing. The winters are growing longer and harder every year, and the seas are getting shallower. The far north and the high mountain ranges are going under the ice, and fast. The Wells of Power, everywhere, keep getting weaker. And the old evils, the Instrumentalities from the Time Before Time, have begun to ooze back into the world. As ever, the genius of Glen Cook’s storytelling lies in his common touch: in soldiers who are like real soldiers, in men and women who love and laugh and sweat, with real hopes and real fears, united only in their determination to face the oncoming night. We should all have some good reading coming up by the end of the year!

Empire Unacquainted paperback out NOW!
by Marc Rikmenspoel 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Amazon<http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_9?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&fi…>still shows An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat as being released in paperback on July 13. However, I found it for sale today in north Jersey. Nightshade released the Starfishers volumes ahead of projected release dates, so this isn't a surprise, but it was still a nice discovery. I bought a copy on the spot, instead of my usual Amazon purchase, since I'm eager to read the stories and didn't buy the hardcover that wouldn't match my other paperback Glen Cook books on the shelf.

Angry Lead Skies reprint?
by Marc Rikmenspoel 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Amazon <http://www.amazon.com/Angry-Lead-Skies-Garrett-Novel/dp/0451458753>and Barnes & Noble are now showing the cover to Angry Lead Skies in the new-style format. The book isn't listed as having been reprinted, or being scheduled for such, but the cover now mentions "author of Cruel Zinc Melodies." So perhaps one will be released soon. Presumably, if they were to release a reprint later in the year, it would mention, "author of Gilded Latten Bones." Then again, this could be simply an updated cover for the e-book version, though I hope it means something more....
