Quintaglio globe
The coolest thing ever ...
A fellow named Patrick J. O'Connor, who lives in Chicago, made this wonderful globe for me of the Quintaglio home world from my novels Far-Seer, Fossil Hunter, and Foreigner. Sitting on the base are two figures of Afsan: on the left, he's young as he is at the beginning of the trilogy; on the right, he's old and blind, being helped along by his seeing-eye lizard, Gork. :)
I totally adore this globe. It sits right next to my Hugo trophy in the display case in my living room.

Very cool - what a great gift.
That IS very cool. What a wonderful show of appreciation of your work.

When I was a CCG (collectable card game) publisher I played the game with a collection of counters/glass beads etc. Fans would challenge me and offer up a special bead or counter that I would add to my collection if I won (which I usually did I had about a 90-95% win rate). One fan put up one of his teeth which made for an intimidating counter especially since I used it to represent damage.
That was the coolest thing I ever got from a fan (not sure if that makes me sound sad or sadistic) but your globe makes for much cooler fan swag.
Out of this world!
