Silent Auction for ARCs
 Want one of the Advanced Reader Copies I created to give to friends and family as proof readers? I created three extra copies of Song of the Fell Hammer and I have one extra copy of The Dark Thorn. I have decided to silent auction off these copies. If you are interested in putting in a bid on these ARCs, visit The Signed Page for more information! Labels: Song of the Fell Hammer, The Dark Thorn

looked on the signed page and couldn't see any information on a silent auction. By the by have you ever considered signing Mercedes Lackey or Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson who reissued Tales of Elemental Magic back in October and the former who wrote Chalice which came out in 2008? Just curious. Merry Christmas.
Hi Shawn,
How's the rewrite going? I just finished my first round of edits and have decided editing is only slightly more enjoyable than getting tattooed on one's eyeballs. Well, at least that's how my eyes feel at the moment. Anywho...hopt it's going well. Best, Robert
Robert: That is very cool! Good luck with the rest of your process. Being finished with edits is a great step to be finished with.
I am over halfway finished with my rewrite. I will be done within 2 weeks, at which point I will send it off to the agent and see if it is worth representation. I am very confident it will find a home somewhere.
The redesign of my website is also long overdue. It's the main reason I haven't updated it. I'll put something together after I finish the rewrite though and put up a new site that better reflects what I am doing.
Well Good Luck with your rewrite. Curious to see what the website design will look like.
you can delete this. I just want to say the last quote doesn't come from me but a good friend who was once on the Terry Brooks forum...I won't say his name but will say you banned him over 5 years ago because he did not get along with Wizz and had issues came to a head with Darcia and company.
It's good to know I wasn't the only one to have problems with that clique. I do forgive your cruel words as I know I am a decent human being and damn fine person. I hope you get published and wish all the best for you in your life. I did care once a long time ago. any way my friend said this. please do me a favor and think about it, because cyberbullying is very harmful to sensitive people such as I.
[quote]I, too, am not welcome at the TB forum, so you're in good company. ;)
Cyberbulling is a way of life at the TB forum. Don't take it personally, if you can help it. Just consider the source and move on. That's the best advice I can give[/quote]
I do hope you have a good life.
Blessed Be.
Francine: I have put great care into ensuring that a ban is done for the right reasons. You fell into that category. I have no doubt your mysterious friend did as well. The 10 moderators and I come to consensus about every single ban we put into affect. Every single one. The 10 moderators come from different backgrounds, different ideas of what a Forum should be, and come from different cliques on the website.
Kai, King Grub, and Tyren, all of whom have nothing to do with the people you say got you banned, looked at your behavior and agreed you needed to go. They are unbiased.
When unbiased people say a person should be banned, you can believe that person needed to be banned.
Stop rewriting history.
I wish you healthy life, one filled with joy and happiness, but just leave me the hell alone. Stop following everything I do. Stop posting about me on your blog.
Let it go. Or I will have to go to the police about this carrying your libel letter to Random House with me. Simple.
Francine: To be clear, that means never post on my blog, write me an email, post on Terry's various websites, or anything else that makes contact with me.
If you do, you will leave me no choice but to contact the police. You are stalking me and I have no wish to be stalked by anyone.
