Del Rey Map Giveaway for PREORDERS of 25th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of Assassin's Apprentice
Hello! It's Kat here on Robin's blog as she's out picking blackberries for the end of the season. I know it may seem strange that we are dividing the work out like this, but you have not had her blackberry jam. Once you have had her blackberry jam you'd happily insist that she go pick blackberries with Ginger and Molly than sit on the internet.

“Wolfe was drinking beer and looking at pictures of snowflakes in a book someone had sent him from Czechoslovakia...
...Wolfe seemed absorbed in the pictures. Looking at him, I said to myself, "He's in a battle with the elements. He's fighting his way through a raging blizzard, just sitting there comfortably looking at pictures of snowflakes. That's the advantage of being an artist, of having imagination." I said aloud, "You mustn't go to sleep, sir, it's fatal. You freeze to death.”

Thanks so much for adding me as your friend! I love your books so much. It was after reading them that I became an avid fantasy reader.

Hello RobinI wanted to tell you that I love your books, I read your latest books first. After I had read them, it makes me want to read the next one. So then have started reading all your other earlier books, they all capture my imagination and transport me to somewhere else. My favorite characters are Fitz and the Fool. Thank you so much for writing your books, and creating them, and in so doing, delighting our souls. Best wishes to you.
I got the Farseer-triology, from my older brother, for christmas and was instantly hooked. I spent all spring reading all of your books, which are flawless and wonderful. I love all of your characters, but Fitz and the Soldier's son really has touched me. Keep up your good work!Ps. Can Fools Quest be released already? :D
/L
Thank you for your friendship and your wonderful books!
Thanks for becoming my friend on this site. I love your books. Keep up the good work.
You have my vote for 2014 best fantasy novel
Thank you Robin, for accepting my friend request.~steve
Hi, good day, Robin!It's an honor to befriend an author of such high regard, thank you so much for accepting.:)
Happy New Year Robin! Hope it is filled with good times and happy memories!
Happy New Year Robin! Hope it is filled with good times and happy memories!
Thank you for accepting! I look forward to reading your reviews, and I can't wait to start reading the Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince :)
Also! Sorry for flooding - I am not a stalker, honestly!))) I want to tell about my jornalist friend who has finished the Tawny man trilogy long before me. I was begging her for a review (she is russian), for she is marvellous with picking words and digging for the essence and also writs poems, but she said - God, I can`t even closely imagine WHAT the author had to go through in the end!! Writing the Fool with such Love and almost giving him the happiness he craved but never even secretely hoped for - that Fitz would finally understand that he is full and complete only with him, and then taking it all away from both of them... Now I understand her.
I guess we are masochists))) for we love you even after that))))))
So I sending her Hellos to the Creator of the Fool also, thank you, excuse us for intruding and have a good day!!!
English is not my native, so I was afraid to write smth to the author whose narration is always like music to me. But then thought - o.k, at least I am gonna try!))) For your books are REALLY important to me, and after I finished the last, Fools Fate, and couldn`t find a place anywhere, I felt like I was gonna burst with the emotions in me - desperately needed someone th talk to, the one who Understands!... And then thought - no)) First I ll try to send you my Love and Gratitude for a Beautiful story which rocked my world. I have many questions and would like to ask you some of them, but also get that they probably would be the same ones you get each day for so many years!)))) So... once again, the main thing - Thank you!
Thanks for the friendship. I hope you have a wonderful day. :)
