Camorr - News and Views from Scott Lynch's Locke Lamora books

I'm very honoured (I'm British - I demand that 'u'!) to announce that Scott has kindly permitted us to post up an excerpt from his forthcoming novel.

In my haste to post it up for you guys to read, I haven't actually read it yet! I'll post my thoughts below as soon as I have done though.

Many thanks to Sabetha (as always) and Scott for facilitating this,

After a lot of searching, we've finally uncovered the elusive Republic Of Thieves excerpt published 2 years ago in Spectra Pulse Magazine.

Download it here.

Discussion has begun in the forum!

Big thank you to Spider for helping me find the damn thing, then scanning it in and sending it to me! Also thank you to David Williams and David Pomerico, who were kind enough to send copies of the magazine to us.

Hello everyone!

I've just moved the whole site to a brand new platform "Drupal"!

All user accounts should have come across to the new platform, along with all of the old pages, forums, topics and comments. The new site isn't themed quite as nicely yet, but it should run a bit faster and has bags more functionality for us as we move forward.

Scott has finally posted it! The long awaited excerpt to the upcoming novel, The Republic Of Thieves!

Read here and be amazed!
Discussion on the excerpt has already begun here!

Apologies to everyone about the downtime on the forum recently,

This was entirely my fault as I removed 8000 spammers. I accidentally removed the anonymous user too, so if you weren't logged in via cookies you wouldn't have been able to see any of the board!

Problem fixed, and more features coming to the site soon!

Thanks,

Rob

Camorr.com is approaching it's birthday!

Whilst news on the Gentlemen Bastard series has been slow going, we're proud to say our community has stuck around and been following what trickle there is with a voracious tenacity.

As a thank you, I'm looking at upgrading the website in a few ways and wanted to hear exactly what [b]you[/b] our community want.

It's been announced that, despite our finger-crossing and fervent hoping, Scott's upcoming novel The Republic Of Thieves has been pushed back to 03/06/2010. 

Gollancz has recently released a catalogue claiming it will be out in November, but I'd rubbish that claim. It said RoT would be out last summer, but obviously that didn't happen. Catalogues aren't always right, and considering the manuscript still hasn't been turned in, I'd go with what many websites are saying, which is the 2010 date. 

It's disappointing, but hardly surprising.

Just as we felt  perhaps the bondsmagi had imprisoned our favourtie author, SL has put out a blog post over at his live journal blog. Not much about the books unfortunatly, but an  interesting discourse into US politics.

Happy New Year Scott Lynch fans!

Welcome to 2009, the year where, hopefully, we'll get our hands on the much anticipated third book of the Gentleman Bastard sequence!

Thanks to Sabetha
Lots of things planned for the site this year.

Hello Scott Lynch fans!

As you can see I'm currently working on a "proper" site to accompany our forums. We have a dedicated group of followers of both Scott, and fantasy fiction at large, talking about The Gentleman Bastard sequence and more. I'm elated the forum is still active, and it's a tribute to the quality of Scott's writing that so many people are getting onboard and joining the chinwag.

I'm hoping the main site will become a repositry for all things Lynch! I'd like to get some fanfic, artwork, reviews, news, reference material and so much more on here!
