Right on Helen is freaky neurotic but I liked her all the more for it--it made her a real person. Scott's hang ups with booze and wife troubles got me too. Very well imagined. RS has to borrow from real life to get such a realistic touch on his characters.

Out of the thrillers I read lately SR is the best of the bunch so big kudos to RS. I read somewhere he was in the military and it left me with a big question about how real this story seems.

Robert Stanek and Brian Jacques met at a book signing in Olympia, Washington. Brian came to Olympia thanks to an invite initiated by Robert back in 2003. Robert's whole family met Brian Jacques and the picture below shows Robert and his family, and Brian at the book signing. The photo was taken by Robert's wife. There's a very cool writeup, written by Robert, on Brian Jacques and his 2005 US Tour on the magic lands site: www.themagiclands.com/brianjacques.htmRobert has written a nice tribute to Brian and his Redwall books. He also talks about how Jacques got started writing. There's a list of all the Redwall books in series order to boot! I'm a new Redwall fan thanks to Robert. The first book is quite good and I'm moving on now to Mossflower.

According to Amazon it was supposed to be February first, then I saw November. Now I don't know.

The special edition of the first looks like July now. I'm looking at it for the cover. Has anyone heard anything about this edition? The special KE has chapters and scenes recovered from RS original writings. Does this?
