Q. Does Megan have a website?

A. Indded she does. You can find it right here.

Q. Where can I buy Megan's books?

A. If you want to buy them new, I suggest either eBay or a UK bookseller like Amazon.co.uk. If you don't mind buying them used, I suggest Abebooks or eBay (again).

Q. Why did Megan start writing as Robin Hobb?

A. While I'm not Megan and can't get inside her head, I'll take a stab at this:
Lindholm novels are of a particular genre, and not one that's terribly popular. Reviews were generally positive, but sales were minimal. "Robin Hobb" was chosen as the name for her mindset of exploring a different side of fantasy, as well as a way to start over with the publishers and fantasy audience.

Q. So you're saying that Megan Lindholm is the "real" Robin Hobb?

A. No. They're both pseudonyms and different facets of the person behind the computer.

Q. What's the difference between Lindholm and Hobb?

A. Lindholm write gritty urban fantasy and occasional science fiction. Hobb writes epic fantasy.

Q. Will there be more Lindholm short stories?

A. Chances are good, but I don't know when/where they'll be published.

Q. Will there be more Lindholm novels?

A. I really don't know here. I know that Megan's sitting on a few ideas, but I have no idea if they'll ever make it to paper.

Q. How can I write to Megan?

A. You can e-mail her, but be warned that she postpones fanmail when she's hard at work on a book.

Q. I have more questions!

A. That's not a question. But if there's something else you want to know, try the official FAQ or leave her a note on the Lindholm message boards.
