I saw this posted on Suvudu so I thought I’d share:
Yesterday I posted that Stephen King would be returning to the Dark Tower, writing a novel or a collection of interwoven short stories that take place between the events of Wizard & Glass and Wolves of the Calla.
This is big news. Dark Tower fans are a cult I am proudly a part of.
It was announced on his website that the tentative title for the book will be:
The Wind Through the Keyhole
I love it!
It will be at least 8 months before Sai King can begin writing the new book. Which begs the question: What is he working on right now? A screenplay for the zombie story Cell but what else? Wish it was the The Talisman / Black House sequel…
Here is a video of Stephen King from last night’s book signing for his new book, Under the Dome. He is absolutely hilarious in it:
I forgot that when I took pics of the throne, I’d also taken a few quick shots of the office itself. So, here’s what my office looks like:
Yep, piles of paper, stacks of books, plus I stick a lot of things to the walls. Funny that I didn’t think to capture the windows. It’s the Flatiron so the unseen wall is basically wall o’ glass. I’ll have to take more pics.
Here’s the other side of my office. It’s my extra desk. The stuff piled on it = remnants of editorial interns past. Note the taped arm on the chair…classy, eh? :P
My last post on here was in September. And then…wow…things got a wee bit busy you could say. I moved. Woo-hoo! I still haven’t finished unpacking and have no idea when I’ll get to that. I’ll share some pics when I’m more settled. But here is Ruki, enjoying the new windows. They have a wider sill so she can really spread out.
And here she is with her head in the window. And yes, there is a screen there. She’s not about to jump out or go anywhere.
Moving all happened in the middle of a wee little book release ;), which happily unseated Dan Brown for the #1 spot on the NYT list last week. Woo-hoo! If you follow Tor’s Twitter, you’ve probably seen me posting lots about it. Things like how we made a throne out of the boxes stored in my office:
I mean really, what else do you do with boxes? If I had more it would have been a fort. :P Oh, my owl took his turn in the throne too.
I’ve also been working on tons of stuff that none of you (unless you work with me) will see until next year. I have plans. Ideas. Yep.
Hmm. What else. That’s pretty much absorbed my life as of late. I’ve watched (listened to) a lot of TV while I’ve been packing and unpacking though. On demand is so the way to go. Venture Brothers is back and kicking ass. Fringe happily fills that missing X-Files void for me. NCIS rocks, while I gave up on NCIS LA which was painful to watch. No idea what happened after that awesome cross-over. Maybe it was losing the leader. Callen is no leader. Stargate SGU and Sanctuary rock too. I’m surprised by how much I’m digging White Collar and The Good Wife. Doesn’t hurt White Collar that it has Jonesy in it! :) And ABC and Fox really need to become available on demand like the other channels are so I can watch shows like FlashForward. I’m no fan of watching TV on my computer after working on it all day.
For books though, I’ve really only had a chance to read on the commute. I read a bunch of Kitty Norville books and am on book 6. I like werewolf types. I’m also reading Outlander. I love the setting and side characters. However, the lead has the emotional range of a rock.
And that’s that. I’m still getting caught up on most things right now so I’m not sure yet how much I’ll be posting until things settle down. So for now, I’ll just leave you with this, the new Clash of the Titans trailer:
And this awesome Fringe preview with NIN’s “Zero Sum” that makes me super happy to rewatch. :)
