Cool! Its just working out payment for it though. If i can order it online via my debit card then it'll make life a lot easier
let it be october so i can send my mother to a bookshop over there!
first of all i need to get book 4... *goes hunting*
Better than me... I still haven't got my claws on book 3:(
Tech talk. It always confuzles me to the depths of my soul.
Mmm hmm, I can agree with that. I don't even own a computer and am often on here when under the pretense of studying for something or rather. By the way, I just found Ashling in the depths of my school library. I was so carried away about finding it the librarian kicked me out for making too much noise!!!
I was just going thru some stuff... and found a bag of over 200 badge pins ( the ones that the clicky bit twirls around and cant acidentally open up) that can easily be put on the back of little cards....
Does anyone want me to make name tags for stuff such ie for the Sending Launch, ie the lucky ones of us who are in Australia, and able to get to Melbourne... I could make each guild a diff colour, and put our screen names on it ( DM, Kayt, Arien Emerald, etc etc) cos there is sure to be members who havent met any of us at the launch, and prolly wont recognise Ober.net people on site, so it is a thought!
Id love to go to melbourne!!!
i know the launch has got to be Octoberish but i played another round of 'quiz the book store staff' and they still have a nothing of a release date.
pleasepleasepleaseplease let it be THIS october!!!! that way i can let my mother go all the way to the other side of the world safe in the knowledge that she'll bring me back a good pressie [img]http://s2.images.proboards.com/wink.gif" alt=";)" border="0"/>
Dark One, I've got the link of the bookshop I bought my OC books from, and am hoping that they'll get The Sending in when it comes. i can send you the link if you like.
I think we should have a Brit expedition to Australia for the launch though...seems as good an excuse as any to go over!
Also, I thought there was an Aus amazon...?
I'd love a trip to Aus for the launch, but I somehow don't think I can afford it.
Dark One, maybe it would be possible to sort out payment using PayPal or something - it would certainly be the easiest way.
True, i hadn't thought of that. I can probably use my mums paypal account as i haven't bothered setting one up
Damn! Why Melbourne?? I live on the Gold Coast. Anyone feel like giving me a free plane ticket?? [img]http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/> [img]http://s2.images.proboards.com/sad.gif" alt=":(" border="0"/>

I plan on being there for the launch.... except at that time i expect to be in Maroochydore...so thats an expensivish flight... *sniffle* damn uni that i want to go to!!! lol
i cant be bothered reading all three pages. so could someone tell me when the 5th obernewtyn comes out? whyyyyyy has she taken so long
Hi Jacinta. You might be interested in clicking on the link at the top of the page, entitled When is The Sending coming out?
hi Jacinta!! i hope you stick around [img]http://s2.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif" alt=":)" border="0"/>
thanks buneater - didnt see it.
thanks also siryn [img]http://s2.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif" alt=":)" border="0"/>
i have trouble believing the credibility of carmody's apparent "quote" though. i cant remember now who posted it up, but seeing as she makes a living out of being an author i doubt she would speak/write like that!
I assure you, it is genuine. We had similar doubts when we first received an email from Isobelle, but it just seems to be the way she types when she's online.

It's genuine Jacinta. Isobelle assured us it was her when we met her at the launch of Little Fur. We're so lucky to have her as a member of our community!
Has anyone noticed that IC's profile on Penguin no longer has a scheduled release date for The Sending??? It doesn't even mention that she's working on it... (i know the last time I looked, they had it as due for release at the end of 2006). They now only mention the release of her children's books [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif" alt=":o" border="0"/> [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif" alt=":o" border="0"/> (which is cool, and yay for IC, but... *wails*)
I'm hoping that it's just some ninny at Penguin has had a brain explosion and forgotten to put it on...
(can someone please hold my hand? I don't think I make it much past October - I've only been waiting since 1988 to find out what happens!!!)
We're all here to hold your hand, good Scruffy. I've been waiting since 1989, so I feel your pain. [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/cry.gif" alt=":'(" border="0"/>
Isobelle promised that if the book didnt' come out in October this year, then it would be out early next year at the latest. It's looking more and more like it's going to be a March 2007 launch, isn't it?
It's probably not an easy book to write.
I imagine it's harder for IC to let it go than it is for us to wait... But still...
*initiates a group hug*
*joins in the group hug*
I think we all need a *grug* to cope with this. [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif" alt=":D" border="0"/>
