Well, the cat is out of the bag. I don't know if it's common knowledge, but I just found out that Keith Francis Strohm is going to be author of the last of The Fighters novels. Congratulations, Keith.

Authors reading is cool, we need some decision makers reading to get them to let Elaine write more about Arilyn, Danilo, and Elaith! |

You guys might be surprised how much some authors read this site, or subtly inquire for things in their work, not just for Realmslore but to see what people want. Granted, Candlekeep's a relatively small sampling, but you never know when ideas inspire.

The last book... so wrong.  |

I just think it was cool that the author came here and asked us what we were looking for in a Bladesinger novel. Shows respect, which is sorely needed sometimes (I think the Nobles series still haunts some of us). Now I just wish we'd said more. |

I assume Raymond Swanland is the cover artist? (Somedays I'm a little slow!  )
That would be a bull's eye. He's done Master of Chains and Ghostwalker -- both are on the wizards site -- as well as Viper's Kiss, in Smedman's series.
Like I said, serious talent.

Hey, no sweat -- I could always be wrong, you know. 
Fighters has been a bit confusing.
Any thoughts on that, by the way, Mr. Strohm? How did this process go for you, if you're at liberty to say?

Yes, as Erik already stated, there was some shuffling around the novels. The release dates are as follows:
Master of Chains: September 2005
Ghostwalker: November 2005
Son of Thunder: January 2006
Bladesinger: April 2006 |

To my understanding, the Fighters series is:
Master of Chains, Jess Lebow
Ghostwalker, Erik Scott de Bie (hmm. Sounds familiar)
Son of Thunder, Murray Leeder
Bladesinger, Keith Francis Strohm (cool!)
The reason the order might have confused some people (myself included) is that Bladesinger was originally scheduled to be first, and when scheduling / contracting bogged down a bit, the order was shuffled. So if it was confusing, don't worry -- I was as confused as you guys!

P.S. Yay Keith! Congrats.

Is it me or was Keith trying to hint that he was the author of this novel when he first posted the novel discussion. I kinda forgot when but if you do a search you might find it. I was pretty sure that Keith was trying to hint about the author then. Keith has managed to captivate me by his short story in Realms of the Dragons and I'm not sure if I'll pick up this book, but I'll contemplate. |

I actually had that figured out long ago. Ever since Mr. Strohm came on this board asking what we wanted to see in the novel Bladesinger, it was pretty obvious. It's all right here: http://www.candlekeep.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3517. |

According to my list (and, yes, I'm just anal enough to keep one!) the Fighter's Series has the following books:
Master of Chains by Jess LeBow
Ghostwalker by Erik Scott deBie
Bladesinger by Keith Francis Strohm
Son of Thunder by Murray Leeder

If one infers a triolgy, the thrid of a series would be considered the last of a series *wink*
WotC of course has had series that have been much longer then 3 books. |
