We call it 'Oootim' for short or more simply, TN6. The book won't be published until Feb 2011, but I thought I'd open a forum for it anyway.

Alright, I swore I wouldn't be spending any more money on trips next year, but I'll have to make an exception and come to NYC in time for the signing. I'm excited!

Well I rushed to Waterstones this morning to be told it's embargoed until tomorrow! But Jasper is at Foyles today and I am assuming that Foyles will be selling it! A call has been put through to the publishers to find out what is going on!

Miffed to say the least! :-(

Oootim came out yesterday (3/8) stateside - did nothing all day but read Oootim...LOVE IT!!! Wasn't sure if I would like Thursday5 as the narrator/main character but she won me over very quickly. I am completely bummed that I will not be able to make it to any of Jasper's signings in the US (please, please, Jasper's press peeps - have him come visit Iowa again, he hasn't been since TN-3).

Looking forward to LDS pub date in the US then whatever else you (Jasper) have in the pipeline!

I hope written Thursday finds her lovelife a little more fulfilling in TN7. ;-)

My first TN ebook, how will this work at signings? And will there be ecards instead of postcards? In any case thoroughly enjoyed it!

Hmmm... may have to buy a pbook too

BTW the illustration of the massacre of the 14th Clown division sems to be a repeat of the mimefield illustration (one of our illustrations is missing) can anyone show me it?

Welcome gookledegob. Help yourself to pies in Nextian.

If we can manage cyber pies digital signatures should be easy-peasy. I may be a bad person to answer this, though, as I am still having trouble with my highlighter pen and monitor.

Mmmm Pies.....

As regulars know, all pies are marked with the initial of their type, sweet or savoury. To help further, sweet are to the left, savoury the right.

There is a third group which are the specials. You can probably work out for yourself how to spot them.

I downloaded from WHS and the rest of the book is fine, I thought it was an error on the e-pub version

In case anyone is interested, I posted a video of Jasper's 3/08/11 chat and Q&A from his New York City appearance on my YouTube account.
