Could be -- could be.
The Over-Fiend violated some copyrights, not to mention the PG-13 rating, not to mention -- ahem!

Hey -- expanding is never a bad thing. 
Reminds me of an OOTS joke:
Varsuuvius: "Tentacles of Forced Intrusion!"
Trigak: "Wait, what? AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Ah, just read this. Was looking forward to the novel already. What Iīve read of you so far suggests to me, that a "Dungeon" novel by you should be fine indeed. But that bit about Fox-at-Twilight makes me look forward just a shade more...but enough of the praise now, donīt want to get you light-headed *winks*. |

Good. I liked them both. |

Hmm. Can't give away too much, so I better make this suitably cryptic.
1) It does take place after. Depths, if I'm not mistaken, takes place in late 1374.
2) Not Yldar (ahem. . . yet), but I haven't abandoned the theme. Either of them.
3) Not the Deep Coven but, once again, I haven't abandoned the theme. Or lost any of the books.

One other thing. Do any of the other characters appear in your novel.
SPOILERS
At the end, you leave Yldar in tears over 'Light. Is he back? (I am presuming your novel takes place after the short story). How about the Deep Coven? |

Not a lot of new info about the novel, I'm afraid. It's set for March, I think March 13 on Amazon.

There may be more information on my Ask Erik Scott de Bie thread over in the Chamber of Sages. :)

It's a little plain for my taste in terms of composition, although I think it's skillfully painted. It's far from being the travesty that is the cover for Blackstaff. |

Same question here. Plus, how many other Dungeons books are there going to be? Is it 4?
And good luck Erik! |

I just wanted to pop in and drop a note that anyone who might be interested in this novel would do well to come to my Sunday signing at GenCon, 12-1, August 13, at the Author's Avenue booth.
And that's all I'll say about that.

SotBR. . . I love that cover, too. The statue rising like a monolith, only you're not sure it's a statue and not Soth himself, entwined with dark roses. . . Beautiful.

You raise a good point -- I think Wizards is, on the whole, going with a darker, less colorful series of covers for the Dungeons. But I've only the first cover to judge, so I can't say for sure.
If Erik Gist (who is the artist, it seems, for Depths) is doing all the Dungeons, then judging by his other work, they will be pretty dark.

A little too much on the horrorish side for me. Another FR book with a lack of color. I understand it makes the piece look darker, but it just seems to belong in the horror isle or with a bunch of White-Wolf books.
I'm not sure I can see someone perusing the fantasy isle picking this one up for its cover. I don't know . . . |
