[...] still, Gailivro also publishes the lovely Peter V. Brett who I interviewed for last year’s fundraiser. They offered to donate some Portuguese translations of his book to the fundraiser. I said that [...]

I only now noticed that The Name of the Wind or TNotW is sort of like T, not W. What do the T and W stand for?

* True, not Wrong? (True not wrong - this is so true, speaking of mathematical logic)
* Tuesday, not Wednesday?
* Thanks, not Wanks?

There must be some hidden code in here--

I just went out and bought and finished the Warded Man purely because it was recommended on the blog. I will say it is amazing and needs to be picked up and devoured like a Christmas Ham! It is the first book since Name of the Wind that I couldn’t put down.

I would like to say that this post makes Pat and Peter even more awesome in my eyes.
3 days ago I was angry that I didn’t have a book to read so I go and check my shelf and find a book that i bought several months ago and then lost before i read it, That book was The Warded Man. I finished it today and thought “Damn that was good when is the next one?” so i checked and then I decided to come and check if there has been an update for The Wise Man’s Fear.
And I find that these two authors of awesome books know each other and just completed an interview. I bought both of these books at the same time around 6 months ago and I am proud to say that they are two of my favorite books.
And I completely agree with what Pat said about the ARC of The Desert Spear and I would say the same for The Wise Man’s Fear.

I heard of “the paimted man” because amazon recomended it to me. When i saw the reason it was “because you own the name of the wind”. So in amazon these books are linked…

Wow. I really, really hope that when I finally get a great ideia and finish only one of the 67265 stories that have been on my mind, a great author like you try to be my friend.
I`m a little jealous, but I know I shall not be. He seems to be a nice man and a good writer.
And, by the way, don’t worry, your story may become a film someday. It will be a big waste if it doesn’t happen.

Oh... Oh... I can't believe my little eyes...

"In the meantime, I still need to make a donation to Worldbuilders for this year. I don't feel right about entering the lottery, though. Would it be possible for me to made a modest addition to the pool helping to match donations?

Oh merciful Buddha, are you serious? Some cash to help match donations would be the best thing ever.

Last year the fundraiser really tapped me out financially, so I was trying to be more careful this year when I said I'd only match 50%. But we've ended up raising WAY more than I expected. We're already over 115,000 dollars. Even with Subterranean Press matching the first 10,000, that still leaves me stretched really thin.

I never planned on Worldbuilders being a one-man show. I'd always hoped some other folks would offer to help match donations, or maybe do fundraisers or auctions of their own to help Worldbuilders raise funds to match donations....

But you're the first to actually offer."

I'll forward a copy of my e-mail from July 09 RE:Philanthropy
You lose half partly from the slight / memory lapse, and well, you could still get the full amount if you are willing to fight some Hatians for it.

I personally would like to purchase some stuff with the Worldbuilders logo on it. You know… decal, shirt, mug. That kind of stuff. Then when I’m wandering around in the world I can advertise. And spot people with the same stuff, which would be an awesome way to find a fantasy buff on sight.

Maybe our illustrious author :) can sell stuff to make up the matching a bit? Or better yet, find a rampaging fan in the neighborhood willing to pitch in some time to do it…
