Turkish editions of the PLAGUE YEAR trilogy

This summer I’ve had a lot of fun seeing new artwork (and new titles) for old books.

Published by Arunas Yayincilik in Turkey, here are the covers of Veba Yili, Veba Savasi, and Veba Bolgosi.  I don’t speak Turkish, but my bet is “Veba” means “Plague.”  What do you think?

I also like see Ruth in her many permutations.  That’s gotta be here on the cover of Veba Savasi

REAL-LIFE SUNFISH LANDING REPORTED IN KENTUCKY !!!

Music Festival

This week I received the greatest email in history from a fan.  A few weeks ago, he attended the Terrapin Hill Farms “Family Reunion” Musical Festival in central Kentucky.

The government obviously hushed up this whole affair because it would rock the world.  There would be rioting nationwide, and everyone on the planet would demand to know why Army and National Guard units were rolling through the streets.  Instead we have only this beautiful email:

I didn’t see it myself but I was told by a friend that he was in our camp circle and reading stuff from my Nook in “scary campfire style.”  At some point he got into Frozen Sky 2.

Again, I didn’t witness this personally, but I do know there was several people who were in our circle that night instead of sitting on the hill watching the music or dancing around the bonfire.  And I am sure that there was a fairly large amount of mushrooms present, not to mention whatever else people from other camps brought in.

He was about thirty pages into FS2 when some of them freaked out.  You caused several good folks to run for their lives fleeing into the woods.  Later, I personally heard someone announce over a loud speaker: “The sunfish are not real!  The sunfish are not real!”

LOL.  What a nightmare!

Having said that, the Terrapin Hill Farms host three amazing hippie music festivals.  I believe everybody should experience the one they have in September at least once in their lives.  Nowhere else can you collect 1000s of people and not have a single fight happen the whole time.

 

So there you have it.  If you’d like to be a part of the next alien invasion, you can find more about the festivals here and here.

Or of course you can go here…

More fun from the Netherlands!

My fine editor in chief, Theo Barkel, sent some awesome photos from an sf/f festival on the lawns of a magnificent castle.  You got your wookies.  You got your killer elves.  You got your book sellers with awesome sci fi thrillers like Het Jaar Van De Plaag.

Looks like a lot of fun!
