First Post in 2014. Sorry, dear followers! Some more activity of mine was on my tumblr blog, and on flickr. You find the links on this page. So...lets start some really nice covers from E.C. Tubbs series of the man who searches the earth. I never followed the whole Earl Dumarest Saga, read only a few books of the series, but the Daw Books have some really beautiful covers. I discovered some on Flickr, so here's the fist one.

The Million Year Hunt by Kenneth Bulmer (1964)

Something for the years's end. I feel that I've been hunting for many things this year - like love, success, luck, old books, money - and sometimes I succeeded, but unlike other years, in 2013 there were many obstacles on the way. Good friends and family members got sick, I missed a plane to London, I had to get a new car (some bloke crashed in the old one) and some other "nice" surprises. Many things are ok now, but there were hard times.

So I really look forward to 2014.

But I'd like to mention also the really good things: This month, I will be godfather for the first time, my girl - who always is full of power and fantastic ideas, our holidays in France, The Day of the Doctor, the Europa Park in winter, shopping in London, helpful friends in the office, my team.

Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year!
