Starting Wild Cards

[ext_3711913]

Hello George.

I have never read any Wild Cards books. Which one do you recommend to start with?

Thank you.

Re: Starting Wild Cards

WILD CARDS or INSIDE STRAIGHT.

(I seem to answer the same question every time we have a Wild Cards topic of any sort).

Signed copies of both books are available from the Jean Cocteau Cinema website.

Russia?

[gravemaster]

Goerge, is it true that you will be attending a convention in Russia in august? This is something websites have been reporting, but no word of it here or in your official website schedule.

Re: Russia?

[grrm]

I hope so, yes. Still trying to nail down details. This business of visas is tricky.

I don't know if now is the best time to go to Russia.

I would be really interested to know which book you are most proud of that you've written and edited?

While Wild Cards has been successful, and ASOIAF has been wildly successful, that doesn't mean its the work you are most proud of.

Regards!

GRRM quote on cheese

[oystershucks]

Hello Mr. Martin,
I would like to use your quote on cheese, "Give me a good sharp knife and a good sharp cheese and I am a happy man."

My name is Mimi Younkins and I am co-owner of R. Murphy Knife Co, the 3rd oldest knife manufacturer in the country - founded in Boston in 1850 by brothers, Robert and John Murphy. My husband and I bought the company in 2009 becoming just the 4th owners in all that time. We are busy rejuvenating a fine old American manufacturing business.

We recently developed a line of cheese knives and I would like to use your wonderful quote on the box for a set of knives. If you are amenable, how would I go about obtaining your permission to do so?

I can be reached at myounkins@rmurphyknives.com
Our website is www.rmurphyknives.com

Thanks - sorry to be in touch here, didn't know how to reach you otherwise.
Mimi

Quote away. I am all in favor of sharp cheese.

By chance do you have a dreamwidth account? Leaving LJ because of the TOS changes but still want to follow you.
Thanks!

Re: Dreamwidth

No, don't know anything about Dreamwidth.

I have Twitter and Facebook accounts, but those are maintained for me by my staff. I never go there myself.

The only place I post is here on Live Journal.
