Ay come from Vis-con-sin...."
John Johnson - The Dark Secret of Weatherend
"[Face] is coming out in November in paperback! I was sent the lurid jacket sample by a girl who works for Ace Paperbacks. The jacket has blurbs by Lin Carter and Ursula K. Le Guin, and I am tickled."Le Guin died last week at her home in Oregon, leaving behind a celebrated body of work, including the Earthsea series, stories in the Hainish Cycle, and numerous standalone novels and short stories. Awards for her work include the National Book Award, the Newbery Medal, and multiple Hugo and Nebula awards.
We noted John's eightieth birthday earlier this month on Jan. 17.
Today’s the eightieth anniversary of his coming home from the hospital.
It’s not surprising to see he was born in Oaklawn Hospital, likely similar to
the hospital Lewis visits at the end of The Figure in the Shadows (1975).
#JohnBellairs, author of my fave book #HouseWithAClockInItsWalls would have been 80 today. Happy Birthday, sir. It's an honor & a life goal adapting your book into a movie. (Everyone! Read the book! Then see the movie this fall!) @eliroth #JackBlack #CateBlanchett https://t.co/vLkon8kxwL— Eric Kripke (@therealKripke) January 17, 2018
