Profit was the first story published, but the second story sold (the first sold was some thing about some kid who goes on to become a powerful magician. The title escapes me, but will probably come to me at some point. Old age and memory, you know...)
"The Wood Boy" was in a book called "Legends", an anthology of shorts written by authors in their own worlds, but specifically to give those authors the chance to write short stories as an intro /to/ the worlds, in the hopes that you (as a reader of Feist) would buy the Legends book because of the Feist riftwar story, go on to read the rest, and maybe have your interest piqued to go buy the novel length back catalogue from the other Authors. Ray, have you done a study (or have any of the authors found in the Legends books) gone back and looked at the numbers? /Was/ there any sort of sales blip on Magician after Legends came out? rip Sent from my iPad > On Jan 17, 2014, at 7:33 PM, sgthellianrocks <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Luke, > > I believe that "Woodboy" is one of Ray's earliest works published, if not > the first. > > And I second Mat's reply! :) > > Shells:) > > > > Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S®4 > > > -------- Original message -------- > From: Mat Fisher > Date:01/17/2014 7:25 PM (GMT-05:00) > To: feistfans-l > Subject: RE: Woodboy > > Sooo jealous... > > > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Luke and Amy > Sent: Friday, January 17, 2014 7:06 PM > To: feistfans-l > Subject: Woodboy > > > > Hi all, > Just a general question that I know a few of you will be able to answer.
