Considering the book is due out in the next couple weeks, I believe it's more a case of "has written" a novel than "is writing" a novel.

Its weird, even though I know Yahtzee is a real person I always think of him as the amnimation from ZP. And I am so ordering his book.

Lol, I loved his reaction to the "does it have any sex scenes?" question. I can only imagine what the questions that didn't make the cut sounded like...

I wasn't going to get this. I thought it would be just another fantasy novel. It is a original idea and I 'liek'.
Pre-ordering it tomorow now.

"Will there be a sex scene in it?"
*looks at the cover* "... NO!"

That... pause... had me worried. D:

 

[SomeBritishDude]

All relatives of Yahtzee should be deadly afraid.

I hope this book is any good, I'll certainly be picking it up.

 

[ultimateownage]

Just because I'm (and you where) a stupid little shit doesn't mean that Terry Pratchett is bad.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

I actually am considering buying this now. I have been interested for a while, but this definitely pushed me to buy it.
