I actually prefer the books published under your actual name (best for me is LUX THE POET) to the Thraxas books which are pretty terrible prose redeemed by very engaging characters. If you write more great, if not then it was fun and we can use our own imaginations to carry on. Soo good luck and thanks.<br />best<br />DavidDavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-85392308744923549512011-01-05T10:00:22.840+00:002011-01-05T10:00:22.840+00:00My post won't be nothing new:) But, pleas mate...My post won't be nothing new:) But, pleas mate, keep going with Thraxas - if you have no publisher, have you considered releasing it under CC licence and a donation button? Or you don't have rights to do do this? Because, well, if you don't have anymore plans for Thraxas, and you already have a ready written book - this would be win-win situation.

Hey Martin thanks fo...From Burnart (in Australia),<br /><br />Hey Martin thanks for the books. Love the world of Thraxas it seems very solid - informed by the real world and the expectations we have of fantasy worlds from Tolkien to discworld et al. I'm a late comer to the series but have now got and read them all except the first 1 which I still haven't located. I'm depressed by the lack of conclusion to the siege and war. I understand the difficulties and hope the future makes it possible to conclude it at some point. In the mean time I'll see if one of my local shops has the wolf girl ....<br /><br />Don't give up on the Thraxas idea and have some fun along the way with whatever you do.

It would be lovely if you would write more Thraxas books, but you don't owe any of us anything, and your other books are great anyway - and thank goodness you're getting published without such problems these days!<br /><br />The rest of you, if you want to see more Thraxas books, maybe you can go and wangle film deals for the ones that have already been published, or something. It seems pretty clear from this post that there's not much point nagging the author about it at the moment.Fergushttp://oolong.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-75291654237362145792010-02-04T09:50:25.036+00:002010-02-04T09:50:25.036+00:00Mr Millar,

During my darkest times I found reading books to be a great comfort as I could loose myself in another reality, your Thraxas books were a great read and Makri especially became an inspiration for me. Even if you never get another publisher please could you for all your loyal fans at least close the series by explain either by short story online or synopsis what happens to Thraxas, Makri and others after the last book. I wish you luck in fighting your own internal demons as I know from experience how hard it is, especially as others rarely understand, unfortunately dr's seem to be the least understanding.<br />Thank you for the many happy hours you have given with the wonderful world Thraxas lives in.Dawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-11747294225878850902010-01-30T04:14:40.632+00:002010-01-30T04:14:40.632+00:00Mr Millar,

I find myself reading them over and over again over the the years. I am leaving this comment to ask you to please; please do a ninth book for Thraxas and at least put the series to rest, if not end, so that I and the rest of your thraxas fans can have closure to the series. At least for a while until you either decide to lay it to rest or start it up again. I find it very difficult to purchase and read your other books because I find myself wondering if it is just going to be another book where you quit and leave us hanging. We, your fans, did alot for you by buying and enjoying your thraxas books. Don't you feel that you at least owe us some closure on the series?<br />Give it some consideration please,<br />Doc AlaskaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-58267905777030034032010-01-28T03:11:20.231+00:002010-01-28T03:11:20.231+00:00Очень жаль, я так хотел прочитать новые приключени...Очень жаль, я так хотел прочитать новые приключения Фракса.

Sharon Lee and Steve Miller did their latest two Liaden novels on that basis. And they promised that if the novel was finished people who kicked in $25 would get a signed copy of the book. This allowed them to write books they wanted to write before they had a publisher for the books, and it established that there was a market for the books. It seems like something like that might be a possibility for you. Certainly, I was unsatisfied with where Thraxas left off, and would pay to help keep things going.Andrew Donaldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521704328176278786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-18163762125777066022009-11-05T13:59:38.196+00:002009-11-05T13:59:38.196+00:00I will pledge $50 if this novel is published, mayb...I will pledge $50 if this novel is published, maybe if 1000 other people can pledge he will write it!epictetushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471299277509888488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-72257186938415986542009-11-05T13:28:27.355+00:002009-11-05T13:28:27.355+00:00The ninth book deal has been stalled between Baen ...The ninth book deal has been stalled between Baen and your agent since what? 2007?<br />And hasn't been resolved yet?<br /><br />Christ, get a new agent FFS.<br />You writing novels to make money or not?<br />How much money is your agent making you by not resolving the Baen deal?<br /><br />I guess if you don't write books to make money then it's not a problem, except you obviously have plenty of fans who'd like to see a conclusion.<br /><br />Hell if you really don't care about the money just post the last novel up on your website for people to read for free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
