<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>Great times in Austin, Texas yesterday\u2026Mike Moorcock and I signed copies of THE METATEMPORAL DETECTIVE<\/a> at BookPeople<\/a>, the largest independent bookstore in Texas. Mike did a short reading from the book, and then answered a wide range of questions from the audience. Amongst the topics discussed \u2014 the origins of Elric; his theories on magic; the status of the developing Elric film project; his relationship with the Weitz brothers; his days with Hawkwind; why people should read Barry Bayley; and much, much more.
$\"\"$ <\/a>After that, we signed lots of copies of THE METATEMPORAL DETECTIVE and hey, even some copies of my artbook, COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO<\/a>. Mike\u2019s birthday isn\u2019t until Dec. 18th, but that didn\u2019t stop us from celebrating with a decadent Chocolate Eruption cake, sponsored by THE METATEMPORAL DETECTIVE\u2019s ever-loving publisher, Pyr<\/a>. Damn good. Here\u2019s<\/a> what it basically looked like, but much bigger (scroll down the link above for \u201cChocolate Eruption\u201d).
$\"\"$ <\/a>After such a fine dessert, Linda Moorcock suggested we have dinner at Hyde Park Grill<\/a>\u2026.fried egg sandwiches; buttermilk-battered fries; Kobe beef burgers; chicken fried steak; corn & cheese tamales; sirloin burgers smothered in cheddar cheese and scallions\u2026.so good. If you attended the signing, thanks for coming out, and if you missed out, maybe we\u2019ll try to do it again in \u201908 when ELRIC: THE STEALER OF SOULS<\/a> releases in February.\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
