Andrzej Sapkowski: Fantasist, Cat Fancier.

Andrzej Sapkowski
Over at Of Blog of the Fallen, Larry has translated this June 2008 Fantasymundo interview with Andrzej Sapkowski. There are some marvelous insights from the author, including this digression on cats:

“For me the cats are an obsession. … I believe that they are supernatural creatures, with an identity and personality of their own … . It is very good to have one in the house, because then no demon will cross the shadows, because this [the cat] is in the shadows, waiting and vigilant.”

You can read the interview in Spanish here, or read Larry’s translation here and here.

    Blood of Elves is the only other I can find. Got into the series with the game, then looked to the books for more. I hope they bring more of his books to North America. A great writer, awesome story. Have not been this submerged in a fantasy novel/world in awhile.
