The idea of a book signed by Alexandra Moltke is very tempting but I'll bet it will be pricey. The comic strip collection signed by Lara Parker is listed on the Hermes site at $95.00 which is way outside my budget for this kind of thing. I wouldn't be overly surprised if the Moltke book is selling for a similar price.
It would be pricey but I MIGHT buy it. Lara's autograph is very easily obtainable. Unless she's discontinued her website since I last checked, a person could buy any numbers of signed items from her at fairly low prices. I have numerous things autographed by her. Alexandra Moltke's signature is much more rare. I'd definitely at least consider buying a DS book signed by her if it was in the neighborhood of $100. I doubt I'd pay much more though.

Yes, somebody with extreme fortitude and devotion is now doing a "blog" series on the Ross novels.

KLS discusses her work on the audiobooks in this article, which I wanted to post on the Sleepy Hollow thread, but the search engine led me to a different thread and then I tried scrolling through to find it. And then I gave up when I saw this one.

It's really extraordinary just how many errors are to be found in this short article. I realize it isn't Kathryn's job to keep the basic facts of DS history at her own fingertips even though she often seems to think of herself as a leading spokeswoman for the series, but at one time, journalists would do some basic fact-checking when composing an article of this kind.

I see nothing at all about the Frid documentary. Presumably Mary O'Leary did mention it in her presentation but the reporter may have failed to pick up on it.

I read this article as well and was surprised that there was no mention of the Frid documentary, especially because that was some of the biggest news of the event. At least as far as being "news" is concerned.

And there was no mention in the article of the pilot, either. But then, there would seem to have been no news on that front because we would have certainly heard by now...

If you scroll down to bottom page here, you can see the first 2 pages of an overview review essay about the Dan Ross DS books here:

http://barebonesez.blogspot.com/2019/10/now-shipping-best-of-barebones.html

The complete article is included in a book just out, The Best of Bare Bones, which is an anthology of various piece published in a fanzine. I don't know whether one can order the book via the usual online retail sites or if it has to be obtained directly through the Bare Bones website.
