Merry Christmas all. By early February, this will be available at Barnes&Noble and on-line places like Amazon.com but, it's available directly from the publishers now. It's the closest thing to a Christmas present for everyone I can give . (Now I just have to figure out how to sign all the copy.) Most of you already know, I paid to have the horribly long Eerith saga (Renamed "Speakers and Kings") printed and bound so that, if you want, you can pay to not have to print out the 300+ pages. Sadly, you still have to buy your own copy (I can't afford to give them out free; I only got one free copy myself and have to buy a bunch for my own family and to donate to my public library). The price is really ugly and I apologize for that--the length of the book is right at 400 pages. In order to make the story clearer a few sections have been rewritten and, since I wanted everyone who finds it to be able to read it, changes have been made (mostly in the prologue and first section) to make the story accessible to anyone, not just Celandra natives (just in case you have friends and family you want to hook). The book also adds a listing of characters, significant places, and fauna, a time-line of significant dates, and two new maps, one of the Wyr-Tal basin and the Onagir world map. I hope, that for those who wanted a copy, this makes a good Christmas present for you and that, for those who don't, you'll forgive the interruption. To everyone, a Merry Christmas and, if you haven't already, go see "The Two Towers" (very well done, very long). M. Keaton "Speakers and Kings" M.
