I know its old...but its the newest I could find...

Thank you all.
As far as Book III goes, I’m finally making good headway. I took a few weeks off late last year to recover from my North American and European book tours. During my break, I spent a lot of time drawing and working out one of the dwarves’ two rune alphabets. Now, wonder of wonders, I am writing scenes that have been stuck in my head for over six years. Yay!
When I was on the road, I had several people ask me what the black mountain of Helgrind looks like. For those who are interested, I based Helgrind’s appearance upon an incredible rock formation called Shiprock, which is in New Mexico. I saw Shiprock while driving through the area, and it was so striking, so amazing, I had to use it somewhere in Eragon. Here's a link to a page with numerous Shiprock images.
It’s still winter. The mountains are mostly covered in snow, with bare areas of rock that rise to spear the sky, miles above the Paradise Valley.
Hay fever is nothing but a distant threat. And a big leather notebook sits in front of me, waiting to be filled with the rest of this epic.
So for now, goodbye. I have a battle to describe.
May your swords stay sharp!
