News - October 2002
18th October 2002 -
Well, given that I've just acquired a whole pile of Bill's books
translated into other languages, I thought I'd put them all together in
one big Overseas
Editions section for the site.
I've started transcribing the back blurbs in their
various languages so if you click over the covers in the Spanish,
German,
Finnish
and Russian
sections, you'll get info about that book in your native language. The Czech
& Polish
ones will follow shortly. Thanks must go to various folks who have
helped me out with the task, particularly Luis Arlegui for the Spanish
lesson - cheers Luis!
It is very difficult to copy text when you don't speak
the languages involved so I apologise in advance for any typos or
mistakes - they will be entirely down to me! Please let me know if you
spot any and I'll get them corrected asap.

Vampireslayer has just been released in the Czech Republic and is
already a best seller in the fantasy section, according to my source.
Martin Fajkus has very kindly passed on this scan of the cover so many
thanks must go to that particular gentleman!
Anyway, one good turn deserves another. The sharp-eyed
among you may have already realised that Martin is also the author of an
article about Bill, currently appearing in the Czech magazine Pevnost
but for those of you who didn't, please see below for further details.

Bill's new Authorised
column is up now and guess what? I'm not going to tell you what's in it
so you'll have to go and look for yourself!
Okay, okay - maybe I'll give you a couple of teensy
hints. Games Day and Wolfblade.... I'm saying no more!

The Czech magazine 'Pevnost' is out this Thursday and will carry an
article about Bill written by Martin Fajkus. The translated title of
Martin's article is 'William King – Lord of Trollslayers' and it
sounds as though it's quite an in-depth piece so all you Czech fans out
there may want to keep an eye out for it.
7th October 2002 -
Well, it's now official! Bill's next book will definitely be Wolfblade,
the fourth installment of the Space Wolf saga and this is scheduled for
release in Autumn 2003.
Further news on the Ragnar front is that the previous
three books will all be re-issued at the same time as Wolfblade and all
four will sport smart new matching covers. The cover artist is, as yet,
unconfirmed but watch this space for further updates as they come in.

As promised last month, I've been busy putting together the beginnings
of a gallery that could rival anything you'll see at the Louvre - only
kidding!
It's actually the fledgeling Trollslayer
Photo Gallery and though it only contains a few pictures at
the moment, you lot may be able to give me a hand here. If you have any
photographs of Bill taken at any events, send them in and I'll stick
them up, giving you full credit for them. Obviously, I'll need details
about the pic - the date, the event and the place it was taken would be
extremely useful and if you can help out, please email me at the usual
address.

October 2002 - My other half is currently working on a
special Gotrek & Felix diorama for the site and though I may be
biased, I thought his Gotrek
Conversion was definitely worth a look even in its
undercoated state. As can be seen, it's still very much work in
progress but I'm sure you get the idea - Skaven beware!
Anyway, I'd just like to take
this opportunity to say a big thank you to Mike Ball across at the Black
Library. He came through with some figures in our time of
need and it literally couldn't have got even this far without him. So
thanks, Mike - it's very much appreciated!
1st October 2002 -
Well, Gamesday has come and gone and Bill has asked me to say thanks to
you all for making it such a great day! He had a fantastic time and will
no doubt touch upon it in his next column. Look out for that shortly.
