Hi, LK. It's great to hear you liked the story. Right now, I'm working hard to finish a Forgotten Realms novel by deadline, and that's keeping me pretty busy. But I hope to try my hand at some more Pathfinder fiction in the fairly near future. |

I loved this tale Richard. It was a pleasant diversion for me during a particularly stressful period.
I'm hoping you've got more Pathfinder fiction on the way soon? |

Of course. In fact, he's No.1 on my list of favorite FR authors. Tied with PSK. It's just that my plate is so full today, and most probably in a couple more days. I'm reading a lot of non-FR fiction which I can't easily put down. Also, I'm finalizing my latest book. My editor's going to grill me alive if I fail to submit my manuscript on time---which is before the end of this year. But rest assured, since it's already on my T-R List, I would read it. |

I thought RLB was one of your favourite authors, dennis?
The story isn't bad - there's some blasting that you'll like. A certain kind of monster I like. Very short. |

The final chapter of my first Pathfinder story is now up, so now you can read the whole darn thing. For free, no less.

I want the other zulkirs reinstated, including some of those from the very first Zulkirate.
OT: And the gremlins are loose. AGAIN. |

Although I love the 4e version of the spooky, haunted Thay... I would love some of the living to take arms and rebel... sucessfully, and at leas make a sovereign realm somewhere in Thay (Alaor, Wizard's Reach and Bezantur are probably the best suited region for that). |

 I'd love that! |

What a pleasant surprise! It's one of my favourite areas in the Realms. :) The Rashemi have a very rich, unique culture. :)
A PC game Mask of the Betrayer was a wonderful experience andit actually started my interest in the region. Moreover, I really enjoyed "Shield of the Weeping Ghosts" - one of my favouriote novels, it simply had this indesribable "thing". |

Richard, could you drop us a hint as to the are of the Realms where your next trilogy is set? Will it be East (I have a feeling that Aoth will return to the familiard grounds of Thay).
Personally, I am a cold maniac, co I welcome all books set in the far north. |

Unclean has been reprinted with the new D&D logo. |

Susan Morris was my editor until she recently moved. Nina Hess is my editor now, although that may change when Susan's replacement is hired. |

Glad to hear that there will be another trilogy featuring Aoth and his band. :)
Richard, If I may ask, tho is your editor now (and/or who was)? There were some changes at the WotC book department and all the editors I have ever know of (and valued) are gone. |

The recent Return of the Archwizards omnibus was similarly thin: disappointingly thin, for me, my only other experience in Realms omnibuses being the old Drizzt ones (from before the Legend of Drizzt re-branding), which featured real paper and were done very nicely.
Still, I shan't complain too loudly, as thin paper is better than no paper, especially when dealing with books not available otherwise. |

The cover's great, though. 
Haha, it was the same with Erevis Cale -Trilogy omnibus. It was as if reading a bible. I found it fitting. :D
Although I think they made it so the book wouldn't be 10 inches thick, not because of cost-cutting xD
Threat from the Sea omnibus is thick. Maybe the new format has something to do with the new label, D&D. |

dennis: I don't want to give away too much about the next trilogy just yet. Sorry. But it would feel odd to give away a lot when I've barely started writing it. Heck, I might later decide to change something I'd yakked about and make a liar out of myself.
Merrith: It's great to hear you liked Whisper of Venom. |

Richard, loved Whisper of Venom! Just as good if not better than Captive Flame. The subject of "the game" is extremely intriguing. Countdown until Spectral Blaze release begins. I almost feel like this story could span an entire extra trilogy on top of the current one. 2 books down and feels like you're just starting to peel back the layers :). Knowing you're going to do another trilogy featuring these characters is tremendous. My reading schedule is locked up. |

I read it upon checking my FB. And Richard, I commented on your wall that I posted it in the Gen FR Chat section here at the 'Keep. But upon seeing Erik's post, I just deleted it.
Anyway, an interesting and insightful interview. You mentioned your next trilogy after Spectral Blaze will again feature The Brotherhood. Are you sending them back to Thay? |

Hi Richard,
I'm about 100 pages in. I really enjoy "Whisper of Venom" - better than the first novel. :) |

Oooh! This has saved me greatly. I forgot my books when I was leaving for work this morning, so this should satisfy me just as well.  |
