Hey, Shane, thank you for giving the series a shot! The differences in cover style are due to publisher marketing - the portrait style covers were the original USA hardbacks where that region tended to focus on characters. The first set of UK illustr

“A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker. The richer and more copious one's vocabulary and the greater one's awareness of fine distinctions and subtle nuances of meaning, the more fertile and precise is likely to be one's thinking. Knowledge of things and knowledge of the words for them grow together. If you do not know the words, you can hardly know the thing.”

OK, Empire 2 was epic. You rock Janny... I absolutely have to read 3 right now. However, Hell's Chasm is staring at me, (from the content page of my eReader). I can't wait to start it and i'm thrilled you are the sole author. The Empire series with Feist has turned out to be my all-time favorite Fantasy series but I have a feeling I'm really gonna like your style all on it's own!thanks Janny!
JJ wrote: "It is great having you as a author member of the Fantasy Book Club, Janny. I do actually read all your posts when i get the time and always find them very interesting. Your name is well known here ..."Hi JJ - nice of you to stop by with a comment, you founded a very nice, friendly group. Fantastic you've seen my books in Australia - when I last had the opportunity to visit, I encountered a wonderful country and a warm reception from readers, not to mention fabulous beer! I'd love to return one day.
I hope you weren't from that area that had the awful fires, this year. I cannot imagine all that acreage, burned. We visited the Blue Mountains - so beautiful.
