| I was thinking the same thing Fillow. Kind of weird to have a change up in cover art styles, half way through a trilogy. I do like the change, but it does not show consistency. |

Hey O-Love, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for hosting such an awesome website! I LOVE your website, it's a great resource and I appreciate all your hard work.
Candlekeep and o-love are my favorites! :) |
Any Lone Wolf fans? Old school gamebooks from the 80's? They are being re-released/updated, and new books 29-32 being written: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/novels/lonewolfsolo.html

First I want to echo hawkytom comment. Both sites are my favorites for Realms stuff.
And for the cover, I think that one or the other is only a maket and the final cover will be diferent.

Don't you ?
I thought the same thing, yes.
I think this cover is very nice. It's obviously set in a millieu I don't care for (as far as the Realms are concerned--there are motes), but the actual art is nicely done. |

I do not think it is a trilogy, it is a series of four unrelated books, set in "the Wilds".
But it is still unusual to see such an artistic difference within a series. |

Yes, exactly my thoughts. One of them seems to be a mockup, but which one? ;) So far my search throughout the internet was in vain.
And thanks for the praise, it's good to hear some kind words for all the work. |

Hey, you've got a good site, and your novels timeline is the best I've seen. There's only a handful of sites I keep handy preformatted links to on my Linkies! page, but yours is one of them.  |

O-Love is also one of the sites I frequent regarding FR. I visit Candlekeep and O-Love each more than I frequent Wizards |

Confirmation from Erin today, the Restless Shore cover format is the format for the Wilds series. The current Fanged Crown cover design, being the first book, is just temporary as is the usual for alot of first books in a series.
Best,

When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

O Love: excellent site! I put it in my favorites immediately.
Just one question: you assigned 1368 to Baldurs's Gate II - Throne of Bhaal and 1369 to Baldur's Gate II - Shadows of Amn. Did I miss something or isn't it to be the other way around? |

You should see my links.... about a couple of thousands or more -- hundreds for comics and RPGs and even more for literature and library-related stuff plus computer/video games, music, art, etcetera. Everything organized under categories and subcategories, naturally!   |

| Let me also join the others in approval of your site, O Love -- you've done a good job for years, and it would be a high time you got praise for it! |

Ah, but here's the thing with my Linkies! page: I've got a bunch of useful links on there, with each one preformatted so I can simply copy the text and paste it into a thread, and all the coding is there to make it look pretty. When I want to post a link -- say to O Love's page -- it's a simple copy-paste and done: O Love's Novels Timeline.
And for my own usage, each of them is also hyperlinked on my Linkies! page -- so I can open the page in another window to look at it before doing the copy-paste.
It's also set up for my daily internet surfing, with all the links opening new pages... I don't bother with bookmarks, anymore. |
