Gday all Feist fans I would like to congratulate Raymond on another outstanding read. I am new to the mailing list but have been an avid fan of the whole Midkemian adventure. I once told a friend of mine that I probably know the history of Midkemia better than our own world, I'm sure there are others who feel the same.
I'm both a little excited and saddened that the story is finally coming to an end as Pug and the gang have been part of my life for so long. I would like to know, Raymond, if you would ever consider coming to Perth Australia for a book signing as I am sure your fans over here would be thrilled.
