Fantasy Minute for October 30, 2005


Keith Parkinson, world renowned fantasy author, has peacefully passed away. Keith had been battling Leukemia for the past 16 months. Keith fought the good fight every step of the way and at one point he had it beat. At that point, we all thought he was in the clear and we were even talking about him attending Gen Con Indy 2006 to build up his immune system with all the lovely sights and smells that tend to rear up at Gen Con. But it came back hard and in the end it was more than his body could handle.

Good news for fans of The Hedge Knight comic and graphic novel. George RR Martin has just signed an agreement with the DB Pro for a follow-up series, a full-color comics adaption of the second Dunk and Egg novella, "The Sworn Sword."

Richard K. Morgan (Woken Furies) Borders, Cincinnati OH, 2 p.m.
