After passing on CraigвЂ™s suggestion for a Midkemia app (similar to the Discworld app and something I think we should insist on) to his publicist, we had a nice talk with Ray and he told me about meeting Terry Pratchett in London in 1989. There was a long line for signatures and Ray politely ignored the organiserвЂ™s efforts to move the fans along quickly, taking the time to take a photo and have a quick chat with each fan. Based on documents Pug found in MacrosвЂ™s tower after the Riftwar, Ray described it as вЂњthe evolution of these documents that Pug has found with his notations and later with MagnusвЂ™s notations about his DadвЂќ and it will be heavy with maps and illustrations by Steve Stone. Originally proposed as an atlas of Midekemia, Midekemia: The Chronicles of Pug will be released in the last quarter of the year, hopefully by October. This year we can look forward to the release of a book that has been in discussion since 1998. He also discussed the contemporary fantasy, Elder Gods, in some detail, which he will be working on after The War of Five Crowns is completed. He discussed his next project, The War of Five Crowns trilogy, which he said would be set in a a much smaller universe than Midekemia, and as straightforward вЂњas I can possibly contrive, or until my characters go on strike and decide to write their own damn booksвЂќ, adding that Jimmy the Hand was originally only supposed to be in one scene. In an entertaining discussion where Ray kept the crowd in stitches, we were all assured that he will be keeping us busy with the release of another book this year and the first book in a new trilogy to be released next year. The event was sold out with more than 300 fans squeezed in at the Arts Centre to hear RayвЂ™s talk and get their books signed. Hosted by RobinsonвЂ™s and Voyager, Ray came out to promote the final book in the Midkemia universe, MagicianвЂ™s End. Feist came all the way to Frankston last night for the Melbourne stage of his Australian Tour.
