Robin's Upcoming Appearances

[Farseer]

I've given up hoping, that she will come to Germany one day. I asked her several times on her homepage. I didn't even get an answer. Perhaps she doesn't like Germany .

Robin did go to Belgium in April, after her trip down here to Australia, so possibly could expect some fans from Germany, France and/or the Netherlands etc to attend such an event? If they are able to, of course!

She only visited three cities during her stay in Australia, which was disappointing to many, but even those stops were quite unexpected considering how tight her schedule was for later in April/May. After returning to the US from all of her jet-setting, Robin acknowledged that it had taken quite a toll on her.

While I did manage to catch up with her in Brisbane, I had to drive and fly a considerable distance to get there and back, and it was at quite a considerable expense with regard to both money and time...given that I had a lot of other things going on, throughout the same page of the calendar. At many other times though, I'd not have been able to justify that expense, and still felt more than a little guilty on my return...and still do!

It seems to me that Robin's timetable is often drawn up by publishers and such, rather than where she chooses to go eg publishers follow events that are happening, such as Worldcon and SupaNova, as they are the ones who often seem to finance the flights, accommodation etc? For the visit to SupaNova, Robin had all such things paid for but this was in return for her time...she pretty much had to do what others wanted her to do, and when.

Still, there are more books on the horizon so she just may choose to head to the UK, Germany or Norway during the upcoming releases. Here's hoping for you that she does... ...or, you COULD settle for Nuytsia?!

I'd enjoy a visit from you, Nuytsia, but I'm sure North Qld isn't quite what you meant!
