<p>You asked for it, and you got it.One year ago, we published "Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows" as an ebook, bringing together leading voices from ToweroftheHand.com, A Podcast of Ice and Fire, WinterIsComing.net, and InnattheCrossroads.com to blow open George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire." Now we're adding more special guests, more essays, and even behind-the-scenes information on just how this massive joint venture got off the ground in the first place.Even better, we went through all the old material and spruced it up. Think of this as the director's cut of the original book, polished and improved for your total reading pleasure.And what truly makes this a special collector's edition is the simple fact that it will only be available until November 1, 2013. After that day, THIS PRINT VERSION WILL NEVER BE OFFERED AGAIN -- not in any shape, not in any way, not in any form.Still want more info on what's on tap? Here's the original product listing for the original, ebook version of "A Flight of Sorrows." Please to enjoy:For the past seven years, we at ToweroftheHand.com have prided ourselves on being a premiere source of "A Song of Ice and Fire" analysis, information, and speculation. There has been nearly a metric ton of essays, forum posts, and encyclopedia entries logged at the site to date, all designed to give the hardest of the core fan the most rewarding experience possible while reading George R.R. Martin's seminal novels.And now we're taking all those years of mastery and applying them to an ebook."Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows" takes five of the site's most prolific authors - including its two founders - and draws out their best, most in-depth work yet. Unlike other "Ice and Fire" compendiums, the focus of these essays is on the narrative, character, and thematic elements of the story itself, as opposed to the literary aspects surrounding the books.Even better, the TOTH editors are joined by some of their good friends, who just so happen to be leading voices in the "Game of Thrones" community: A Podcast of Ice and Fire co-hosts Amin Javadi and Mimi Hoshut, WinterIsComing.net founder Phil Bicking, and "A Feast of Ice and Fire" co-author Chelsea Monroe-Cassel, along with noted fantasy editor and author Douglas Cohen.Altogether, the book's eight authors (and two special guests) cover a wide gamut of subjects and perspectives, from the most obvious to the most subtle, challenging readers to look at the novels they love so much in entirely new - and more enriching - ways.</p>

"When I tell people I'm a writer they always tell me how lucky I am. How splendid it must be to write a best-selling book about wizards and mysterious lands. Many have conjured the image of the creative genius - tucked away in his garret, a glass of absinth in one hand churning out perfect prose and having the time of his life. What many fail to realise is the sheer amount of hard work, planning and frustration that goes into the creative process. It's not just about raw talent. As any writer will tell you we must learn certain skills which will help the creative process flow - from initial thought to pen final stroke. In "Inspired Creative Writing", I will reveal insiders' techniques for ensuring that you produce the best possible writing that you can!" - Gordon Smith. What's it about? Gordon Smith reveals some brilliant insights into making writing more effective. Drawing on his years of experience as a writer, editor and publisher, Gordon's book will prove an invaluable aid to any writing experience. Then perhaps when you tell people you are a writer, their envious looks will be deserved! In "Inspired Creative Writing", Gordon Smith remarkably reveals: ways and means of overcoming writer's block; amazing techniques for making your characters leap off the page (or out of the window); the importance of research and how to use it; the importance of location, location, location; the best schemes for planning and developing plots that work; inspired results for writing TV, radio and film scripts; and, le mot just- toujours!
