(yes I read Fionavar when I was ten years old, no I probably should not have)
(but it is one of the ingredients you use to make a me: Fionavar, Sondheim's ASSASSINS, and Cherryh's CYTEEN, all before age 16 = Arkady)

It was 40 years ago that The Darkest Road was published, completing the Fionavar Tapestry.
It’s been a long, still ongoing, deeply rewarding run. My thanks to readers around the world.
Even as my writing focus has kept changing (as it should, I always say) I remain deeply attached to that trilogy.

As it happens, 40+ years ago in Fionavar I treated a red full moon in the sky as a response by a goddess to the emergence of evil, asserting it would not go unchallenged.
We needn’t see it as a bad omen?

I rarely do this, listening to or watching people discuss my books makes me feel acutely self-conscious. But the four people here were so thoughtful and generous about Fionavar, and it is so long ago (40+ years!) I actually felt an odd, grateful detachment.

Tried this at the bad place, didn't get a big response, so:
Whare are some really good, well-written fight scenes (in books, not movies)?
(Manchurian Candidate and Infinite Jest, for starters)

FIONAVAR is a case of me "going back" to earlier author work. I read LIONS, loved it, and decided I needed to read the back catalogue, which meant TIGANA, and, ARBONNE, and FIONAVAR...
And then the SARANTINE MOSAIC hit, and I've been reading them as they've come out, since.

The Fionavar Tapestry, by Guy Gavriel Kay. Of all the present-day works inspired by Tolkien, Kay’s are the richest and most original. He assisted in compiling the Silmarillion, and in these novels he tells the story of five Canadian students who are drawn into another world.

So, yes, signing and signing is Not Fun, even with good jazz playing but ... damn these @grimoakpress.bsky.social editions of Fionavar are gorgeous ... this is The Darkest Road, which finishes them, of course. The paper for this title page is ...just luxurious.

OK, less contentious post:
You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?
For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second
