See you in Lisbon.
And/or Porto.

Today’s my last day in London (for this part of the trip). I’ll be turning up at the London Book Fair and taping some interviews there for HBO, then heading back to the hotel to pack for Portugal. Off to Lisbon in the a.m.
Was down on Oxford Street yesterday afternoon, and I popped into the Waterstone’s there and signed all their stock. So if any of my UK readers want a signed copy or three, that’s where you’ll find ’em… while the supplies last.
The day before, we caught WAR HORSE on stage. AMAZING show. More impressive than the film, I think. The puppetry is magical. We also got to meet several of the actors. My thanks to my friends at HBO for getting us the tickets, and to John Bradley West for helping set up the backstage visit.
ANd before THAT was our after-hours HarperCollins party at the Tower of London, else wise known as The Publishing Event of the Year. Turns out I have readers amongst the Beefeaters.
So, yes, you can say, this has been a swell trip.

Yes, it’s official.
HBO has ordered a third season of GAME OF THRONES.
Like the first two seasons, it will be ten episodes long. This one will cover (roughly) the first half or thereabouts of A STORM OF SWORDS, the third novel in the series.
I’ll be writing the seventh episode, with the working title “Autumn Storms.”
Full details can be found at a dozen other places on the web, so I won’t rehash ’em here. Just wanted to pass along the news to my faithful readers.
We had a grab event tonight at the Bloomsbury Theatre. Now I’m tired. Night, all.

Busy, busy… still in England, now in the heart of London… we had a smashing visit to Bath, with a great event at Toppings and tourist visits to the Roman Baths, the spa, the Assembly Rooms, and the Royal Crescent… then it was back to Heathrow for the (sold out) Eastercon. Biggest and best Eastercon ever, by all reports. It was great to see so many old friends, and to make some new ones.
Meanwhile, back at home, GAME OF THRONES won the prestigious Peabody Award.
This evening is the big London signing and interview at the Bloomsbury Theatre. See (some of) you there!

Made it across the pond safely. Parris got her first platter of fish ‘n chips last night, and pronounced it ghood. Today we’re recovering from jet lag.

For my readers in Portugal… some details of my visit there…
See you in Lisbon! See you in Porto!

Seems as though I just got back from Toronto, and tomorrow I am off again — this time for England and Portugal.
The UK comes first. Signings in Bath and London (details on my website), a visit to the London Book Fair, and best of all, EASTERCON at Heathrow. I hope I will see some of you there, and we can hoist a pink or three.
And from there it’s on to Portugal, and appearances in Lisbon and Porto. Not nearly as long as visit as I’d like, but I’m looking forward to it.
I don’t often log on while on the road, so posts here will be few and far between for the next few weeks. Though Ty may drop in from time to time with some announcements.
Back home just in time for the NFL Draft!
I expect that the UK will be a No Tebow Zone. That will be a relief.

The latest treat from my friends at HBO is “You Win or You Die.”
