Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

New Boudicca post! States of Absorption, Dreams of Bliss

And be sure to have a look at previous Boudicca entries, too; I have been falling down on the notifyingness here. *hangs head*

(so, also, No Net in the DogBlog -- though also posted it over in the Doghouse here on the boards; and new blog in the Groover's Grotto, New Books Out and a Reading in April.

Other new stuff around the site:

Updates on the News  Page about upcoming releases -- see the Calendar and March 29 entries; also included in the March 29 entry about Tad's new short stories, a link to Tad reading his upcoming short, "A Stark and Wormy Knight" at the Calgary Public Library at World Fantasy Con '08.

Update on the Auf Deutsch page about Die Drachen der Tinkerfarm, the German edition of The Dragons of Ordinary Farm.

Coming soon: we're working on designing a new page for the site featuring Ordinary Farm.

That was awesome. Not overly rude. Succinct and to the point. Just, (paraphrasing) "Why bother? Review elsewhere, please." Did this get sent to Kirkus, or is Deb hoping someone from Kirkus will see it, and hopefully redirect their reviewing energies elsewhere?

Re: NEW on tadwilliams.com...

Awesome indeed. I am nowhere near that diplomatic :)

& yes, she sent it to Kirkus before sending to me to post to her blog. I'm not sure if she's received any response from them, though.
