Waiting for 'Winter' : Tales of Dunk and Egg and more

The Hedge Knight

As you may well be aware by now, I can't wait to read The Winds Of Winter, the next book (Book Six) in George R.R. Martin's Ice and Fire series. It won't be coming this year. Or next. But here are some other things by George R.R. Martin to whet your appetite...



TALES OF DUNK AND EGG


These are the prequel novellas to the Ice and Fire series. There's three out already (Hedge Knight, Sworn Sword and Mystery Knight) with a fourth one coming up next year. They have been released mostly in anthologies, and I think if you have an e-reader you get them on their own also. Some time after the fourth one is published, they will be collected into their own anthology. not sure how many total there will be...six? Nine? Twelve?

George R.R. Martin has been writing them and releasing throughout the course of the Ice and Fire series. They're 'novellas', and they take place about 80-100 years before Book One, Game of Thrones, begins. 

Here's how House Targaryen looked during the time of Hedge Knight : 


There's sources to read up on the series, etc but I went here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_dunk_and_egg

And now, for some re-issues of George's previous works....

DREAMSONGS (VOL. 1)



ISBN-10: 0553385682

DREAMSONGS (VOL. 2)



ISBN-10: 0553385690

WINDHAVEN



ISBN-10: 0345535499

I haven't read (or own a copy of) Windhaven yet, but what people have told me online is that it's George's best non- Ice and Fire book.

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...
