Cover Reveal: Memory of Light (Wheel of Time book 14)



At long last, the cover art for the 14th and final Wheel of Time book has been revealed....








The series which began in 1990 will finally reach its conclusion in January 2013 when the final book, Memory of Light, will be released. I get them in paperback so I have even longer to wait. However, i started reading them back in '03 or so, and only read the first 5 (I think just as I was starting 6, a Harry Potter came out, and I got sidetracked with that and never got back to the series. Since it's been so long, I'll start over. Hopefully, on the day book 14 is out i hardcover.) This blog isn't about the series, but just the fact that 'hey, the cover's been released'!

The original artist, Darrell K. Sweet, passed away before he could finish his cover for the book. He did the covers for every other book in the series. Michael Whelan has done the final piece you see above, and will see in book stores. As you can see, it goes with the previous covers quite well. It doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Whelan has also done the cover for Brandon Sander's Way of Kings, the first in his Stormlight books. Hopefully Whelan can illustrate all the covers for that series too!

Here is Darrell's unfinished piece :



I'll be sure to do a full on Wheel of Time post at some pint, which will mention this briefly.

PS, my amazon wishlist has also been updated. I expect the next 'update' to occur in July, after my birthday....

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
