Yes, have to take a look and see what Mr Salvatore says about "stuff". Thanks for the link.

I appreciate the link. Thank you .

Although, curiously, I found myself attracted more to the interview with K J Bishop and her work on The Etched City, than the interview with R A Salvatore.

Entirely different type of book,at FBS we try to cover all branches of speculative fiction, whether Sword/Sorcery, Urban, Dark, Epic/High, Moorcockian, Gothic, New Weird, Magic realism, steampunk, slipstream, wahtever words people want to categorize their works as. Major publisher, or small press, we want to talk about it:) Our first 2 interviews were with 2 lesser known, but critically acclaimed authors, so in the third I decided to switch it up and give some people a bigger name (thanks RAS:), that would appeal to a much different fanbase.

Regarding Kirsten, she was just tremendous, both in the interview and what it did for our site (being our first interview). Extremely nice lady, and I hope to do more interviews with her when she gets nearer to completion of her second novel. The Etched City has noticable influence by Masters of speculative fiction like M. John Harrison and Michael Moorcock. As would her nominations and awards won would make one think a very impressive read, especially for a debut. Incredible prose and surreal writer.

Thank you for sharing this interview. I know your feature detailed more information on his upcoming novel than I have viewed elsewhere. One thing of note. In the second paragraph under question #5, you have the following:

quote:

I cold watch the swordfight between Inego Montoya and Dread Pirate Robert 500 times and not get bored.



Should that be "could" rather than cold?

Thanks again.

Well... Not be quibble, but I believe it was spelled "Inigo" and that the other guy was "Dread Pirate Roberts".

Ah, my bad. Perhaps I should go read the interview now... I didn't have the time to read it before work this morn.

(I like having a job where I can surf the net at work, with no worries )
