I ought to focus on reading my own books then getting book 5 and my subscriber exclusive prequel out. I'm really busy at the moment! Thanks for the kind offer of the Conan book. You should give them a go! The Red Nails story is really very good, the Black Seers one is too!
I too have to admit to collecting and loving all the original Arnie films about Conan Martyn. I still have them and still enjoy watching them now and again, without having to worry about suspending belief about what they are, with any of the the faults they may have, or how Arnie steps up to the character he portrays. Quite simply, I'm a sucker for this type of film with any or all of the faults they may be reputed to have, without going into what might be wrong with them. So what! I love them all! Martyn I have a treasured rather large book on my shelves I bought in the late nineteen eighties I think for £20.00. It has 896 pages, is bound with leather (I think) and on the front in gold lettering it says 'Centenary Edition'at the top, then the title - 'The Complete Chronicles of Conan' Underneath the title is a sketch in gold of a helmet worn I presume by Conan and at the bottom the name of the author - Robert E. Howard. At the end of this huge tome is an afterword about the author and Conan by someone called Stephen Jones. This book contains all the stories you have described and many more. I wish I lived nearer to you for I would gladly gift it to you as I don't think I will be reading it now at this late stage in my life. I would gladly post it to you but it is pretty heavy! LOL.
Take care now
Leila
PS... I do have two paperback copies of book 1 of your series and book4 - 'The Rise of the Archmage' which is due to my inefficient system of buying books. If you don't have the actual paperbacks of these two books I would be happy to send them to you.

Iv'e seen a lot with her. My favourite is the one with the retro games in it - that was brilliant. I think my favourite character is Raven. She's awesome!

Thanks Anya, I must admit I've had a bit of a 'King' hiatus. Once I've got my studies out of the way and I'm back into my reading I'll have to try another King! I read almost all of the early ones years ago, can't remember the last one I read - might have been Desperation?
Thank you for the Friendvite, Martyn! I look forward to your thoughts on King's UR. I found it deliciously creepy. Hope you have a lovely day! ^.^
