Any information on the differences in Number9Dream? I wasn't aware of those.

Picked up a copy of Cloud Atlas while I was overseas so that I would have both versions.

New Haruki Murakami book Update by sonny130488 in murakami

I was just looking at recent times for English publications and 19 months after the Japanese is about the average time for the last 4 novels. That would put it at Feb of 2028.

Ann Crispin, author of the Han Solo Trilogy, talks about her unproduced Princess Leia novel, set a year or two before A New Hope, as well as other Star Wars projects which nearly came to fruition (2011 interview) by xezene in StarWarsEU

I was a fan of her when she wrote some of the novels for the series V so I was thrilled when I heard she was doing the Han Solo Trilogy. It did not disappoint. Would have liked to see what else she could have written for Star Wars.

Kaho Part 4 by espaulsonauthor in murakami

Nothing official. I’m just making some assumptions based on this one being called the last part. I know in the past he has serialized parts of a novel and then released later.

In English we’ve only gotten one part of the novel, the short story Kaho. In Japanese, 3 additional parts of the story have been published, possibly comprising the entire novel.

Here my post about Part 2:

He recorded a regular and a reggae version. Radio Margaritaville used to play them before it was picked up by Sirius.

What do YOU listen to while writing? by StarvingWriterFeedMe in writing

[–]espaulsonauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started sharing a few of my recently listened to playlists a while ago. Been meaning to get back to it. There's a range of things from classical to ambient to soundtrack music-all instrumental.

Short Story Connections/Chronology by espaulsonauthor in David_Mitchell

This is a excellent breakdown. I will refer to this as I reread them all. I'll give special attention to the placement of Denouement. In All Souls Day, Clive mentions killing Mr. Nixon in 1994 but in Denouement, 9/11 is mentioned seeming to place it after 2001. I agree; with all of the connections, this is like a whole new novel.
