Just finished Liars Key last night. Great read and I'm loving the direction the story has taken. The ending was perfection. Can't wait for the next book to come out.

3.5 happenings out of 4.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

All 52 of the leather-bound Broken Empire special edition omnibus, priced at $300 sold out in 9 minutes!
Don't despair though because the cloth-bound edition has the graphic design, the new Jason Chan art, the new Jorg short story, the signatures, and of course the three books, and is just $100. Also $10 of that $100 goes to the children's hospice charity (which is more than I make on each book).
Hurry though because the cloth-bound is also a limited edition and over 100 sold in the first hour so they won't be available for pre-order forever!
Pre-order here: http://grimoakpress....e-broken-empire
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE ... nah, just kidding.

I wouldn't consider Kickstarters spam since they generally offer info/content/news on top of the request element, plus it's not just hit-and-run advertising if you're someone who posts here.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

S'right!
I'm not all about kickstarting the apocalypse (75% funded now, so make sure your affairs are in order) ... I also want everyone to read my books too
Speaking of which, my eldest son is now a Malazan convert! He won't shut up...

It's when he becomes magnanimous and beneficent after reading Malaz that you have to worry.

Gosh, give me some time....
My English still needs some practice...
btw, while looking where I could buy your books I stumbled upon Book Depository, which ships items for 'free' worldwide (yes I realize Im probably a couple of years late). Its roughly 33% cheaper than here plus they even have it stocked! I would probably find out but it would rather be later than sooner (I didnt stumble upon that while looking for bunch of King's books) so thanks!

The Book Depository are basically Amazon but they do a good job shipping to lots of countries - so they're handy to know about.
My books aren't exactly easy-reading so fair warning. Some authors are great story tellers and use plain prose (Sanderson, I hear). I tend to work the language rather harder.

Good to know.
How would they stand in difficultness of language compared to King's books, for example Cujo?
Mistborn, along First Law and maybe Farseer are besides Broken Empire on top of my to read list, maybe I should start with that.
