Today is Kaza Kingsley’s birthday! We here at Port-O-Door just wanted to say a few things.

Dollick: Happy birthday! I just wanted to say thank you for all you’ve done, these books really lift the spirits of kids everywhere! You are an amazing author, and here’s to you!

Spartacus Kilroy: Happy Birthday Kaza!!! You are an awesome author, but more importantly, an awesome person, especially in the way you connect with your fans! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Danny Rex:  Kaza! Happy Birthday! I want to say how amazing you are but you know that! Thank you for being so involved with us fans because otherwise this would have never been possible! I hope you have a very happy birthday,  have some Cloud Cream!

Bethany:  Happy Birthday!!!  I hope it was full of magic!  You’re an amazing inspriation to all of us!!!  Happy Birthday again Kaza !

The latest is that edits are nearly done for Book Four. The title of that
book is called The Three Furies. I’ve already given suggestions for all of
the chapter art pictures. Soon I will be starting to write Book Five!

Is that not awesome? Ok well this may be the only new for a while so enjoy, and don’t get too addicted…

In other news, Kaza recently talked with her editor about her plans for the cover. It’s great that Kaza has a hand in this, as most authors don’t. The Search for Truth cover was released about four months before the book release, so we’ll probably be able to see the cover between September of this year and next.

Best wishes from me and the rest of the Port-O-Door staff!

It gives different things away then the newer one.

1) It emphasizes the bee way more here.

2) Behind the word Truth is Trwyth.

3) No scales.

The one used:

1) Bengal Tiger in the background

2) Erec with scales

3) Changed the border from beehives to a more floral look.

Remember the game of springball… a brilliant game where the people are the balls?  From Kaza Kingsley’s famous book Erec Rex The Dragon Eye, here is how springball is played.
To begin, the people take the place of the balls.  The balls or people, try to get in each other’s trap or a hoop above the trap which would give them extra points. There is one ‘ball’ on each team.  The teams have to stay out of their own traps, players of this game have to be great gymnast; this game takes a LOT of muscle.  To protect themselves they wear padding that allows them to bounce. It is round as in the shape of a ball.  They have springs on their bottom and their head.  Around the field there are nets, walls, holes, and other obstacles to get around.  A batter, a person with a rubber club, tries to knock the human ball away if the other team gets them.  Guarding the hoop and trap with either a large racket or their own body is the trapper.  There are also four bouncers on offense, and three guardians on defense.  It is three points for getting your ball in the trap and six for going through the hoop. It is five if you get the other team’s person in their own trap, and ten for getting them in their own hoop.  It is one of the greatest games in Erec’s world.

Please don’t tie springs to your heads and bottoms (I don’t want you to get hurt),  but how could we play Springball in your world?

Please tell us your version of Springball!

Yours Truly,

Bethany

I have some BIG news! I want to announce this first here, on my forum, where I’ve had the great pleasure of getting to know some of my best fans. As you probably saw on the home page of ErecRex.com, in the Archives of Alithea News, Erec Rex was recently bought out by Simon and Schuster. This is really great news, but it does change the schedule of how things are happening with the Book Three release. BUT before I tell more, I will say that I’ve been brainstorming what to do about that, and I have some really exciting ideas! Okay, the great thing about Simon and Schuster taking over the series is that they are really BIG and they will do a great job of spreading the word about Erec Rex far and wide. And, as far as movie deals – this ended up changing my movie agent, and I’m now with the group who did the Spiderwick Movie deal. So it’s looking better and better! The only thing is that Simon and Schuster is going to put out Books One and Two again at the end of March or early April in paperback, which pushes the Book Three release off until late summer. The look of the books will be different, but still have the same basic art. Here are previews: http://www.amazon.com/Dragons-Eye-Erec- … 55&s=books http://www.amazon.com/Monsters-Othernes … 80&sr=11-1 I want to emphasize that putting off the release of Book Three, The Search for Truth, was not my choice, and there is nothing I can do about it. Believe me, it’s as hard for me as for anyone – it’s been finished for quite a while and I can’t wait for it to be out! I’m hard at work on Book Four now! BUT there is a good side – it allows that much more time for more people to catch onto the series. I hope that by the time Book Three is out the series will be even bigger. BUT I had to do something for you, my incredible fans, that have been waiting eagerly for Book Three. I’m going to put a series of contests up on this forum site that will let people win signed copies of the first two books, other signed items, and …. yes, early copies of Book Three! I like to think of this as Erec’s contests in Book One, but hopefully much less dangerous. :} Anyway, keep an eye out for contests to start SOON! I’m really excited about it. I’ll be posting this on my blog page soon, and other places. But you heard it here first! There is a countdown timer going for Book Three on the fan pages. And I promise that Book Three will be worth the wait! Love y’all, Kaza
