Roger Zelazny Recordings- need permission to circulate

Does anyone know who is in charge of Roger Zelazny's Estate, and/or how I would go about contacting them? Please reply in comments or in email to akgmurphy (at) gmail.com

thanks!

I believe it's his ex-wife and/or son. (If Jane were actually in charge, those extra Amber books would not have been written.)

True. Jane will know how to contact them, though.

I've never read them, actually. I refuse. It's well known in the SF&F writing community that he did not want anyone else publishing Amber novels after he died (aside from things like Phage Press which has the right to publish fanfic in Amberzine), but he didn't change his will so there you go.

I opened the first one, read the first chapter or so... and would have thrown the bloody thing against the wall if A) I wasn't in a bookstore and B) it was my book.

I've heard they're terribly standard-fantasy and really lame to boot.

I haven't read them either, after a conversation with George R. R. Martin where he explained Zelazny's views on the subject.
