News - September 2002
26th of September 2002 -
Well, UK Gamesday is less than 72 hours away and looks to be one of the
best ones yet. Bill will be on hand at the Black Library stand from
midday, signing books and generally chatting and is looking forward to
seeing some of you there. Oh and if anyone gets any good photos of the
camera-shy Bill, please send them to me and I'll stick them up onsite -
it's about time we had a Gallery feature, I think!
24th of September 2002 -
Here's some news for all the Czech fans out there. On the 10th of next
month the magazine 'Pevnost' will carry an article about Bill written by
Martin Fajkus. The translated title is 'William King – Lord of
Trollslayers' so look out for it in the next couple of
weeks.
21st of September 2002 -
There's a rumour afoot that Bill might be writing the fourth installment
of Space Wolf (now entitled Wolfblade) once he completes work on
Giantslayer. At this point, I can neither confirm or deny it as nothing
has been officially sanctioned yet. I will, however, let you know
as soon as I do hear anything official....
19th of September 2002 -
The competition for the Gamesday ticket is now closed and I am delighted
to announce that the winner, drawn at random from all the entries,
was one Mr Frank Schafer - congratulations, Frank! 
I'd also like to thank everyone else who entered and
wish them better luck next time.
16th of September 2002 -
Well, as promised, the Trollslayer
Forum Q&A is now up onsite though a bit of judicious
editing (not to mention mistakes in my numbering - d'oh!) has meant that
there's now 40 questions and answers instead of 42. Enjoy!
15th of September 2002 -
It appears that Games Day is even more exciting now because both Ian
Watson (Draco, etc) and Adrian Smith (cover artist on Beastslayer) will
be attending. If you haven't got a ticket yet, don't despair - here's
your chance as the Trollslayer
Competition is now offering you the opportunity to win one.
Simply answer an easy-peasy question and then all correct entries will
be entered into a prize draw to win the ticket (travel and all other
expenses NOT included) and a book. Please make sure you've read and
understood all the rules before entering though, and be aware that the
closing date is the 18th of September so you only have a few more days
to get your entry in.

It seems that you can now own a hardcover copy of Trollslayer for
approximately $2. Unfortunately, there's one fairly major drawback - it
happens to be the new Russian edition so you have to be able to speak
the language! Thanks to Leonchik Prokhorov for the dustjacket scan.
6th of September 2002 -
Bill has just completed a Q&A session with the Trollslayer
Group people and I am currently working on the format for
getting it up onsite. 42 questions and answers and very interesting
reading it made too, I can tell you. Watch this space for further
details.
5th of September 2002 -
Okay, Bill's new monthly column, Authorised
is now up onsite. Floods, Journeys and Giantslayer are all mentioned. Oh
and cannibal halflings - yes, I *did* say cannibal halflings! Bet that
has you intrigued now...
5th of September 2002 -
Well, as many of you probably already know, UK Games Day is nearly upon
us and takes place at the NEC, Birmingham on the 29th of September. I
have been told it's now sold out but for those of you who don't have a
ticket, don't despair yet. I happen to have one that I can't use
and rather than letting it go to waste, I decided to hold a little
competition and put it up as a prize.
Be aware though, it's probably only of interest to our
UK members as the prize is ONLY the ticket (and a book, as a little
extra) - travel, accomodation and any other expenses incurred are
definitely NOT included and will be the responsibility of the winner.
Still interested? Then enter here
- all you have to do is answer an easy-peasy question!
The winner will be drawn at random on the 18th of September and notified
shortly thereafter so make sure you supply a proper email address! Good
luck!.

5th September 2002 - Okay,
so it's cheating! I know you probably all saw the covers last month but
I still think they're pretty cool so have left them up.
For those who didn't see last months news, Geoff Taylor is doing
covers for all the old slayer books and the whole series will be
re-released in their stunning new livery at the same time as Giantslayer.
Watch out for them all in Spring 2003.
