Multiprocessing.  While on tour for The Winds of Dune, and editing chapters of Hellhole, I received the spectacular cover art for the second “Terra Incognita” novel, The Map of All Things.  Artist Lee Gibbons has done an excellent job; he wrote me that this was the first time he’s been able to do “a full-fledged Ray Harryhausen painting.”

I’m sitting on the train right now, heading from New Haven CT to Manhattan, and then tonight we are off to Long Island, NY for our 7 PM appearance at the Book Revue in Huntington.  The past two nights, Brian and I have done signings in small independent bookstores which gave us an opportunity to sit with the fans in a cozy setting and have a relaxed chat (much different from the mobs at San Diego Comic Con).

Tomorrow, we’ll be at Chicklet Books in Princeton, NJ, and we’ll be joined by our cover artist Stephen Youll.
