As most of you know Brian's birthday is December 2. So I've started this post, as I usually do, so anyone interested can make a greeting to him. I'll close this post 9:00 AM December 2 GMT time. Then I'll print it off and give it to him to read.

On Ebay now you'll find these items: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6306032259&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 We've received ours and played it. It's Region 0 so it's okay for everyone. At least it's okay for us on Region 2. There's even a PayPal link for the UK folks. Also it's a buy it now so no bidding is necessary. Brian finds it very interesting. Keeping you informed as usual.

Greetings! It's been a long time since I've had any spare time to get to the board. Brian and I have been swamped with work and I have now started my own literary agency for short stories and reprints. Brian being top on my list, of course. And with all the traveling we're doing this year it seems I just can't get the paperwork down. And lots of little nasties have been happening that need or needed taking of which bite into the time. Also, I've just recently learned that my father isn't as well as he should be for his age ... but right now he is doing okay. So, however late they may be, our deepest condolences to any Lumlians out there who have had tradeg…

Some input folks. Using the tube right at Paddington train station... 1. What line or lines would you need to take to get to the Piccadilly Line? or I'm not sure how many lines converge at Padd but here's another option... 2. Is there a line that goes direct to King's Cross where I know I can pick up the Piccadilly line? If you can give me the easiest route I'd very much appreciate it.

Well, for goodness sakes... Of course it's a book, and Brian gave it this title because it's perfect for the contents. There are no Brian Lumley freaks ... well maybe ... but you know who you are! But we make a good little club don't we? I've closed this post because I don't want two going on the same thread.

As most of you already know, or don't know or have forgotten ... Brian's birthday is December 2. So here's the place to start your greetings. You need to get them in by midnight EST time and 5:00 AM GMT time on December 1. I'll be pulling them off early on the morning of the 2nd.

World Fantasy Convention 2003: Washington, DC -- October 30-November 2, 2003. Brian is Guest of Honor at this one. All information can be found at http://www.seahunt.org/wfc/ Is there anyone out there that will be attending? You can post here or you can contact me and let me know silky@brianlumley.com

Fellow Lumlians... You'll now find a 4CD set with all the info you need on the page. This is a project totally produced by yours truly. If it goes down well, as new content becomes available there could be more sets. But, more than likely it will be double set rather than quad. The quad has been done now because of all the available content. But, please, if you are interesting in purchasing the set ... please read and understand all the information carefully as per usual there are certain things I can't be responsible for. And, I await your comments to this post.

THINGS I’VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET MY HEAD AROUND or I’M NOT A SCIENTIST, BUT… or MY BIG ToE. by Brian Lumley Anyone who has read the Psychomech or Necroscope series -- or even The House of Doors -- will most likely have noticed that quite a bit of Science Fiction finds its way into my Horror. Not the hard stuff, God no! Not the stuff that’s almost as much science as fiction, because I’m not a scientist and I know that a lot of those other guys – those big-time SF writers -- I know that they are … or if not scientists, then they’ve at least read-up on and probably understand “all that stuff” much better than I do. (That stuff being quantum …

For the really serious collector. Another item from Delirium Press. There are six books in this boxed set. But mind you, there is only one book of Brian’s brand new, never been published before novelette: The Man Who Killed Kew Gardens. Alas another expensive one but I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t keep you all informed. Shane’s note is below with the address which to find this item and all information pertaining to it.

Fellow Lumlians... Don't forget, pre-ordering has begun for: Fall/Winter 2003. The House of the Temple. This limited edition book has the novelette, The House of the Temple, plus a comparatively rare short story, Swamped. The first is a Cthulhu Mythos tale; the other, in contrast, is something of a whimsy -- just to show that Brian is not always deadly serious in his writing. This will be a signed, hardback, signature-plate edition. An interesting experiment, mainly for collectors. Endeavour Press. Cover art by Alan M. Clark, interior art by Allen Koszowski. Limited to 300 copies. Traycased Lettered Edition 52 copies. You can preorder at: http://www.endeavorpres…

Fellow Lumlians... One last post has been sent out to all folks on the Brian Lumley Mailing List. Effect August 4, 2003 there will be no more mailing list. Because of the large volume of returns I get from the Mailing list for unknown or no longer valid addresses, I'm going to do away with the list. 95% of you folks on the list don't bother to let me know you've changed your address. While I do want everyone to stay informed ... I do not have the time to weed out all the bumpf. I've spent hours removing folks from bounced back mail. For those of you who have in the past informed me of their address changes, I thank you. So to keep informed you'll n…

Fellow Lumlians… I don’t always get to the board as often as I like, so I’ve a favour to ask of you all. It’s too much to ask of Shadoe to provide this for me so I’m asking all of you. The control panel of the board will tell me board names but that doesn’t help me match it up with a real name unless I know you. Now I know who lots of you by your board name but I need a list to match Real Names up with MessageBoard Names so I know who’s saying what. (Brian sometimes asks me who’s who and we just don’t know.) And this is faster than me dropping everyone a private message from the board because I don’t have enough spare time for that… So will everyone please…
