My name is Raya Golden and I manage the art direction and licensing development here at Fevre River working closely with GRRM as his schedule will allow. But I alone am responsible for approving all the licensed art that accompanies our SOI&F book driven materials.

Recently there have been accusations floating around that the Penguin Random House’s illustrated edition of A Feast For Crows was produced using AI generative art.

To our knowledge and as presented by the artist who completed the work...

Seems like just a week or so since we got back from worldcon.  Nice city, Seattle; I hadn’t been there in ages.   And worldcon was a lot of fun.   Low key, friendly,  a nice mix of old friends and new ones.   (And ghosts, too.   Too damn many ghosts.   Every time I go to a worldcon, they haunt me.   Ed Bryant, John Miller, Howard Waldrop, Gardner Dozois, Phyllis Eisenstein, so many more).

After worldcon, I drove home with Janice Gelb and Stephen Boucher, through Washington, Montana, Idaho, Utah,...

The Wild Cards series goes back a ways.  All the way to 1987, when Bantam Spectra released WILD CARDS, volume one of our original triad, which introduced the world to Jetboy, Dr. Tachyon, Golden Boy, Mark Meadows, Gregg Hartmann, the Great and Powerful Turtle, Yeoman, Sewer Jack, Bagabond, and a host of other aces, jokers, deuces and nats.

There have been thirty-four volumes published to date — that’s not counting the various games, comic books, graphic novels, audiobooks, and similar spinoffs (...

Our adaptation of Howard Waldrop’s short story THE UGLY CHICKENS continues to kick ass and take names out on the film festival circuit.  Our latest win came back in March, at the Cinequest festival in San Jose.

We were not able to attend that one is person, but Cinequest was good enough to send us the award.

Howard wrote a helluva lot of great stories in his day — there was no one like him, and never will be — but “The Ugly Chickens” was probably the best known.   It won both the Nebula and the...

Hope springs eternal, they say… especially for football fans.

I have not been paying much attention to the NFL during the offseason.   Too many other things to do.   Both of my teams did pretty well in the draft, though, so surely they would do better than they did last season, which was dismal to say the least.   The Jets have a new coach in Aaron Glenn, the Giants have a couple of new quarterbacks (a couple old new quarterbacks and a new new one).   Opening day, the G-Men were playing the Comm...

August was a busy month for me and mine, with two conventions on the schedule, a road trip in between, and a couple of guests afterward.

Worldcon was in Seattle this year.   The Brotherhood Without Banners were there in force, which I always like to see.  Caught up with some old fan friends, made some new ones.   I did two panels, both of them emjoyable, and the autographing was well run, drew about three hundred.   For me,  the highlight of the con was our screening of the three Howard Waldrop ...

We’re excited to announce GRRM will be headed to New York Comic Con this October to introduce the new HBO series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

There will be a panel with Showrunner Ira Parker alongside Peter Claffey & Dexter Sol-Ansell who play Dunk & Egg. So keep your ears to the ground for more details on time and room information.

See you there on October 9th!

THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE MINIONS OF FEVRE RIVER

It’s been months since Parris and I last went to the movies, but we finally got out of the house last week, and bopped down to the Violet Crown to catch SUPERMAN.   I’m glad we did.   Supes and I are old friends, and this is one of the best Superman movies in a long time… maybe ever.   This new Superman reminds me of the version I used to read about when I was a kid, the strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.   (And yes, an...

Romulus and Remus are growing up.  And their kid sister Khaleesi is only a few months behind.

Here’s the latest update from the good folks at Colossos.
