Like at the beginning of each month, Mongoose has updated its schedule for the publication of the LW books:
Book 5 -> June
Book 6 -> July
Book 7 -> August
As for those still waiting for book 4 (like me) and the novels, its seems that Mongoose will get them later this month and will start the distribution at that time.

I keep checking my mailbox at work for the novels and keep waiting !!!  It should be interesting to see how the novels move Magnamund forward. I'm curious as to how much knowledge & say Mr. Dever had in proofreading / approving them. I'm assuming he's still very busy with Kasatria, so I'm guessing he was pretty hands off from the novels. Just my guess. I'd appreciate more educated opinions. Regards, Koreth |

I just hope that he's more hands-on than last time - or at least the new author is more ready to listen than John Grant was!  |

Let's be fair here, everybody is more willing to listen than John "I don't like fantasy because science fiction is so much better" Grant (who'se sciffy stuff, ironicaly is more like fantasy since it lacks any real hard science). |

There is that, true. Then again, plenty of famous sci-fi could be categorised as "space fantasy", so I'm not sure that this is such a problem.

Rest assured Joe has had full approval at every stage of the novel writing process. The novels themselves were developed from basic ideas Joe came up with and he has had full editorial input throughout. Black Cat did an interview with me that explains a little more about the process. Cheers Fordy |

Yeah, I was about to mention this: I've made the interview with Fordy (BTW, it's nice to see you here), it has been corrected and sent to KHFA for publication in the Rising Sun. HOWEVER, I never ever got an answer as to when it would be published. I keep asking for it to be published now instead of waiting for that JD interview that nobody ever saw before contrary to my text (at least Simey saw it).
Honestly Fordy, I feel ashamed about that. As a journalist, when I do an interview, I never wait that long before publishing a text. It feels like a lack of respect towards the person who gave us his time to answer our questions.
Since the novels are about to be published, I will try to come up with a plan. Anybody knows how to make PDF documents with a Word text?

Um, unless I am misunderstanding your question, Black Cat, all that takes is someone who has a full version of Adobe Acrobat or some other, similar, PDF converter on their computer. I do, for one.

The adobe site allows you to upload up to three to five files and convert them - or they did a year ago.

Good! I'd offer to create a short story for it, but I have now been blocked twice from finishing ideas for new stories, so I can't commit to anything like that |
