TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's the night! After weeks of anticipation and promotional efforts on our part, the date is finally upon us, Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz and Matt Hurwitz will be in attendance at Barnes and Noble, The Grove LA in an exclusive book signing event to promote the excellent X-Files tome, The Complete X-Files: Behind the Series, the Myths and the Movies.

A word of advice, if you are planning to attend this event, and we do hope as many of you as possible get the chance to do so, then plan to arrive there early. This event is hotly anticipated and sure to be popular so to ensure you have a chance of getting a copy of the book signed you need to 'get your skates on'.

We are sure all those attendance will have a blast and we are delighted that, in some small way, we were able to contribute to the promotional drive in association with Palace Press Publishing, our thanks to them once again for their generosity. On a final note, if you do attend we would recommend you take a camera, a sizeable amount of well prepared Millennium questions and a willingness to play reporters for we poor souls across the sea. Here's hoping you can be Frank Black's ambassadors and our eyes and ears in the process. Have a great time!

BacktoFrankBlack - website updates!

It's a wonderful, bleakless sunny day outside my window. Far more Yellow House than Dark Cellar.

A few BacktoFrankBlack.com website updates!

• Our final part of the BacktoFrankBlack/Lance Henriksen interview is now on the website. This interview was posted here on the newsreel/blog a few weeks back and now has a permanent home in our interview section. Our interview with the wonderful Averie Maddox has also been moved there. Our interview section is a great repository of insight for fans of Millennium with facts and opinions straight from the mouths of the cast and crew.

• The main page has been updated to showcase the book-signing for "The Complete X-Files: A guide to the Myth and the Movies", starring Chris Carter/Frank Spotnitz/author Matt Hurwitz. As a reminder, this event takes place on 22nd April at 7.30pm at Barnes and Noble, The Grove, Los Angeles. We hope those in the area will be able to make it, and those who can't are advised to pick up the book which is a fantastic insight into Millennium's sister show.

• While we're on the subject, don't forget our competition to win one of two copies of The Complete X-Files: A Guide to the Myth and the Movies. We have a DVD copy of Millennium Apocalypse as a runners up prize!
  

• We are also prepping for German translations. We've had our new German translator sending us a few pages. We're preparing to code them and hoist them onto the site as soon as possible.

• And keep an eye out on this newsreels margin - thriller author MR Sellars is now listed as one of our official affiliates. Watch his blog or follow his twitter or ours!

Finally, spoke to Lance recently. As always his good will and appreciation was offered on behalf of those working so hard to bring back the show. If you read this blog, access the website or simply just spread our message, his gratitude goes out to you - as does ours.

Peace,

Jim.

LIGHTS CAMERA CAPTION - AN EXCLUSIVE BTFB COMPETITION!

As you have no doubt read, www.BackToFrankBlack.com is proud to be involved in the online promotion of the event which will see Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz be joined by author Matt Hurwitz to promote the book "The Complete X-Files: A guide to the Myth and the Movies" in a book signing event on the 22nd April at 7.30pm at Barnes and Noble, The Grove, Los Angeles.

As part of our promotional activities, allow us to draw your attention to a fantastic competition to win one of two hardback editions of the aforementioned book thanks to a generous giveaway courtesy of Insight Editions. Being in with a chance of winning one of these superb books could not be simpler, no particular skills are required, there are no complicated criteria to meet and nothing to make or do!

HOW TO WIN A COPY OF THE BOOK!
All we require is that you guys get your thinking caps on and supply us with a humorous caption for the following image of the indomitable Frank Black passing Mulder and Scully on the stairwell (yeah, we know, they're body doubles but let's pretend shall we.)

Give us a caption for this image for a chance to win a copy of the book!

Yes, that really is all you have to do to win a copy of the book!

RUNNER UP PRIZE!
Because we are feeling extra generous we will not only send a copy of this book to the top two submissions as judged by ourselves but we will send a copy of Millennium Apocalypse to the submission judged in third place. What can you lose?

For those unfamiliar with this book allow me to say what a superb and thoroughly enjoyable trawl through the entire world of the X-Files this is.


The Complete X-Files is a declassified look at all nine seasons of the American Peabody and Emmy Award-winning science fiction television series created by Chris Carter. Discover the mystery behind Mulder's alien abduction, Scully's secret objectives, the designs of the shadowy "Cancer Man," and the full truth about the mytharc episodes. The book includes many bells and whistles such as gatefolds, alien and monster charts, alien and monster cards, movie posters, a secret dossier, Mulder and Scully booklets , and more! The Complete X-Files will captivate fans and science fiction audiences, proving that nothing is what it seems and that "the truth is out there."
