Consider yourself flamed for self-promotion ;-)  Consider yourself also 
thoroughly flamed for FORCING me to go, KICKING AND SCREAMING to the 
bookstore (oh yes, such torment, nonon, dont' make me go)...of course, 
venturing outof the mystery aisles and over to the sci-fi/fantaasy area will 
be a little weird....

<< For all the smiths on theforge who have groused at
 Hollywood for their weak portrayal of smiths AND at
 the risk of being flamed for self promotion:
 
 My new book, "A Sword for the Immerland King" is
 finally out. Initiated in that angry moment of having
 read a bad story about a smith and knowing that I
 could do better, it is a visionary fiction novel about
 a smith whose convictions run him afoul of his king.
 
 The original purpose was to write a story that did
 justice to blacksmithing and it got out of hand in a
 hurry. Maybe someday they will make a movie and I can
 insist that they do the smith and his son properly :-)
 
 Check it out at www.immerland.com Check out the review
 by Brian Gilbert in the link on the first page and the
 fledgeling "blacksmithing" page that I have been
 promising my self to do for the last 5 years.
