Tycho: There are two things I must mention.First, Gabriel liked the cover for book four (entitled "Birds Are Weird") so much that he wanted to make a poster of it, and it's not worth arguing with him when he gets like that so we let him do it. It is, even now, awailable!Also: PAX preregistration opens today, and since we've had a couple of these now you probably know if it's something you'd like to attend. You save ten dollars over the door price, which is, like, ten bucks. This is money you could put toward some other purpose!(CW)TB

Tycho: It's available almost everywhere, actually, but we have it on our own store now if you do not already posess it. I've seen a few out there in The Retail Book Fortresses, so should you desire a copy of Epic Legends Of The Magic Sword Kings, the process will be very straightforward. I think it turned out really well, but I wrote all of it, and I get paid when you buy it. So I might not be the person to ask.  Trivia: The third book is called The Warsun Prophecies, which we already announced. The fourth book is called "Birds Are Weird."(CW)TB
