Frank Herbert signed a multi-million dollar contract with Putnam for DUNE VI
Zelazny has signed on for 3 more novels set in the Amber universe. These do
not follow from Courts of Chaos but are set in a later time. Some characters
carry over. [sgp - Anyone wanna place bets on who?]. He is also writing a
"Berserker" story for a collection being editted by Saberhagen.
Shooting has begun on Star Trek III with Leonard Nimoy directing.
Christopher Tolkein is digging out even more stuff from garages and places.
Look for THE BOOK OF LOST TALES, VOLUME I early next year and THE MONSTERS
AND CRITICS AND OTHER ESSAYS next spring.
There is a full-page ad for ON A PALE HORSE: Book One of INCARNATIONS IN

us that DRAGON ON A PEDESTAL (a new Xanth book) is out for October.

That's as much as I can bring myself to type for now. Go out and buy your
own LOCUS. It is only $2.25 and well worth the price. Better, subscribe!
If I am slighting your favourite author it is probably because I don't
like him/her/them/it or else /he/she/they are dead. One of these is
correctable.
