Just Desserts
Appendix I: What’s a Game of Thrones without the Tower of the Hand?
Appendix II: The Creaking Door of House Manwoody
As you can see, it’s a packed house, and we’re excited to squeeze you into the nerdfest, as well.
(Note: the two appendices are previously published material – one at Corona’s Coming Attractions, the other at Tower of the Hand itself – that interviews the respective braintrusts behind TOTH and A Podcast of Ice and Fire. It’s collected here to heighten the reader’s enjoyment of these two wacky-but-popular ASOIAF staples.)
A Flight of Sorrows goes on sale on October 13th, exclusively at Amazon, for $5.99.

It’ll most certainly be available via Amazon on October 13th. We’re attempting to get a pre-order page up as soon as possible, but considering that my first boy was born yesterday, things are a bit chaotic right now. =)
