Greetings from the LGW Library!
Picture if you will, the towering shelves of ancient texts, stone walls covered with crumbling maps of lost worlds and the intricate crystal mobiles depicting parallel universes that surround me as I sit pondering the deep questions we all ask ourselves in the quiet isolation of our own Imaginations.
However, as much enjoyment as we all get from our imaginations and the companionship of an excellent book, there are still those times in the day when most would enjoy the company of literate, forward thinking friends that share our enthusiasms and sense of adventure. In answer to this void I have decided to create a blog for the discerning fans and friends of LGW.
Some of you may wonder what my duties as LGW librarian include. Well, first and foremost, I am not one of those librarians who hiss ‘Shhhhhh’ all day. I am a research librarian and much of my time is spent assisting Mr. Beddor uncovering facts and validating the intricate paper trail documenting Alyss’s adventures both in Wonderland and our world. At the present time, he is deeply immersed in writing book 3 of the LGW trilogy. Of course it is all very top secret and I am sworn to keep my lips sealed, however, there may be times that I cannot keep from sharing a thought or two on what is to come.
Other topics I will muse on include further evidence of the Lewis Carroll conspiracy to suppress the truth, news of the Hatter M Institute and their boisterous all day luncheons, the adventures of my good friend and literary sleuth Agnes MacKenzie, new and old books I highly recommend, worthy websites to visit and news of the progress of the LGW film (Question: Which A list actress has been knocking at our office door hoping for an audition? She even baked muffins! I told her, next time bake tarty tarts and you might have a chance.)
And of course, I look forward to visits from the ‘Readers Who Write’ since the whole point of this blog is to create an intellectually stimulating tea party for fantasists, futurists and LGW fanatics.
The LGW booth will be at the Phoenix Comic-Con this weekend January 26-27. Liz Cavalier (co-author of the Hatter M comic series) will be tending the booth so if you are in town stop by and say hello. I’ve asked her to please stay alert to all interesting adventures, curious sightings and unusual happenings so that I may share them here with you.
Long Live Alyss!
The LGW Librarian
