Additional Fan Art

Shawn Speakman | January 26, 2012

While Naomi is busy getting some work done on Crucible of Gold and already preparing to work on additional projects, she asked me to post this extraordinary fan art that her husband Charles found while surfing the internet:

The artist is named Daniel Govar and he’s done several pieces influenced by Naomi’s Temeraire series. Definitely take a look at the rest! To see more of Daniel’s work, click HERE!

And no, we have not forsaken you. Naomi has been exceedingly busy as of late and she will be updating the Ask Naomi section and the Fan Art Contest soon! Keep an eye out!

Posted Prologue: Crucible of Gold

Betsy Mitchell | June 22, 2011

Today’s nur-ne-nur-ne-nur moment from yours truly is that Naomi Novik has delivered the manuscript for Crucible of Gold, the seventh book in her Temerairet series, which means I get to steal off to a quiet corner and immerse myself in reading for the next two days! The manuscript still needs to go through copyediting, proofreading, and printing, which of course means that the world will not see it until next spring (it goes on sale March 6, 2012), but I HAVE PITY ON YOU. Yes, I remember what it was like to be a mere mortal who had to wait (and wait and wait and wait) until my favorite author’s next book hit the shelves. So we’ve posted the Prologue to the novel right here on Naomi’s website—please take a look and let us know what you think!

And for those of you reading the series in mass market paperback, Book 6, Tongues of Serpents, has just gone on sale. Enjoy!
