I am going to go break out my pretty autographed copy and read it again.
Well actually I am going to read it again on the Kindle.
But I love having my personalized hard-copy.
Then maybe I will try the book thread with you guys again.
Just sayin.....

Hey, Geoff (and all you other wonderful Alterran aficionados): Soon you shall have hard covers available, plus new miniatures of Gorgon, Gaelen, and one of the Olcan boar-riders from Ravenshade. They are AMAZING! Will let you know as soon as I have them.  There will be a whole line of miniatures available for sale--all major characters plus beasties plus generic characters, painted or unpainted. More news coming soon...I hope! |

I need Gorgon on my computer desk! I will definitely get some of those figures. But there are more books on the way?! Soon?

I will need a Gaelen to remind myself of my favorite elf.

Oh, the Gorgon is wonderful! He's got his helmet off, his hair is cascading down his back, his armor is designed by an expert and he's roaring up at the stars with both arms brandishing weapons. I love it!!
Gaelen is in mid-charge with blades drawn--I will make sure to send you one, Geoff. Robin, a Gorgon shall adorn your computer--my treat!
(Thanks, Moses!)

Then there's Alterra coffee, and the Alterra retirement community... (I've thought about sending them a set of books for their residents.)  |

Reading Elfhunter might raise their bloodpressure too much.  |

Have a peek at the 'greens' for the first figures! Remember, now...these are TINY (28mm scale). They are meant to be used with the upcoming Elfhunter RPG, but can, of course, be used with ANY RPG. There will be a larger-scale line (for collecting) in the future, as well as a whole lot more of these, but we are excited--we might actually have product by GenCon! So, who wants one? (Besides ME, of course!) http://www.achesoncreations.com/index.php?view=category&catid=12&option=com_joomgallery&Itemid=61 |

Great to see it all coming along, Alterra is alive!

Are they meant to stay green, or will there be painted versions? I like the detail on all of them.

That's a good question, Robin. Those are 'greens'--original sculptures from which the molds are made. The figures will be cast in pewter and will then be available painted or unpainted. (We geek-folk like to paint our own.) They are very inexpensive. A few larger figures are planned (i.e. Lokai) which will be hybrid pewter and plastic. The larger collectibles will be in faux bronze, I think. I want to talk them into real bronze ones. Those will be 3-4 inches tall. These are tiny! Gaelen is only about an inch high--that's a penny she's standing on. They have all kinds of evil plans for giftware and jewelry and such, but you know how easily such things can change, so I'm only counting on the stuff as it's actually produced. |

Well bring 'em on. They will populate my desk as soon as I can order them. They can keep The Joker under control, he came in a cereal box when Dark Night was about to be released.

So we are waiting for more news from Alterra.
Hint hint hint.

Just sayin.....

Geoff: There's SO much news from Alterra I can't stand it! However, I forgot all about my poor, neglected little thread which was probably somewhere around page two-hundred in the bazaar.  So, here goes: I am only days away from signing a three-book deal with a traditional publisher, including a series of comic books and graphic novel adaptations. The first miniatures look fabulous (especially painted), and the first of the new jewelry line is nearly ready for production. AND...there will be a nice, juicy back-story of approx. 20,000 words to be given away on line. The new illustrator will no doubt be cooking up something wonderful to go along with it. (For those of you who are already familiar with Alterra, it's the tale of Aincor Fire-heart. Now, I KNOW you want to find out about him.) I'll announce it here so you can all read it! |
