I'm gonna be thwarted, I just know it!
RE: The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince - mmmmmmm - Aug-29-2012
On Jackie Morris's blog it talks about a possible commission for a new Robin Hobb novella even though the article on the subterranean thingy says someone else is going to be illustrating it so perhaps it will be released by HarperCollins in the UK *hopes*

Ah, nice pick-up
, mmmmmmm! 
Yes! I haven't been by Jackie's site for a few days but here it is for the rest of you to check out in her August 28th post.

@ littlemissangry: it can be pre-ordered from SP anywhere in the world but I think the shipping is pretty much the same for us all, no matter where we are? I'm down in Australia. Of course, if Jackie is working on the illustrations of a new novella, as mmmmmmm has just shared with us, it is likely to be TWP&TPP I suppose, and therefore another option for purchase later down the track? Some more investigation is required methinks! RE: The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince - Farseer - Aug-31-2012
Just copying and pasting a quote here from Robin via her site from back in 2010:
Quote:I don’t, right now, have plans for Crossfire’s Cotery though it is a tale close to my heart. In my spare time, off to the side of the novel I’m contracted for, I’m working on a piece about the Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince that will shed some light on what really happened there . . . that is, if we can trust the narrators to be be truthful! I’m having a lot of fun with this, but right now, it’s just a side project. No idea when (or if!) I will get it finished or published.
Very true that..."if we can trust the narrators to be truthful".

As per Robin's recent Facebook post, she is working on the page proofs of The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince today.
I.am.so.EXCITED!

I thought this was a Subterranean Press only release, but Amazon has the book listed: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Willful-Princess-Piebald-Prince/dp/1596065443/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354260424&sr=8-1
RE: The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince - Farseer - Nov-30-2012
Lost my post!
So it is, joost, so it is. I can't remember what I paid for my Subterranean Press pre-ordered copy but I have a feeling that Amazon's is *way* cheaper?
RE: The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince - joost - Nov-30-2012
Subterranean was USD35, I think, which is (at the moment) GBP 21.80. So Amazon is slightly cheaper. But shipping costs for SP were quite high.

Is that what a piebald horse would look like? Or is it artist interpretation, to a large degree independent of facts?
Not pretty like dragon scales.
