Anybody heard anything about releasing the whole book/novel?
Or any more info?
I just heard that Salvatore was going to write a book about
Guenhwyvar, and then I found this preview:
www.wizards.com/books/downloads/Guenhwyvar.pdf
What do you think?
I am really looking for that.
If that's a preview is there more?
Any info is welcome :)
Thanks!

| I should imagine Guenhywar's dialogue will be as sparkling as ever. |
Death is Life
Love is Hate
Revenge is Forgiveness
Ken: You from the States?
Jimmy: Yeah. But don't hold it against me.
Ken: I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass. |

You mean "ggggrrrrRRRRRWWWAAAARRRR!" and "mew?" right? 
And the link is to the short story in Realms of Magic.
There's no word on what the next book will be, but rumor says NOT a Zaknafein and Jarlaxle prequel. |

It answers the original poster's question rather well.  |

Dont forget "Purrrrrr"! |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

| My favourite is the part of the book when Guenhwyvar after cleaning herself vows not to eat orc again. I guess you have to see a cat often enough to get the joke though. |

| Perhaps there's a Best of the Realms Book IV collection in the works? A compilation of the RAS short stories would make sense. |

It's been mentioned more than once... And considering that he's one of WotC's best sellers -- if not their best -- it's surprising to me that it hasn't happened already. |

I do recall reading rumours elsewhere, perhaps at EN World, that suggested Wizards might be waiting until just after the release of The Ghost King in paperback, so that there would be a gap in the publishing schedule for RAS's works, before making any announcements.
There was no evidence provided, of course, but I don't recall hearing anything about RAS's next Realms work, so, maybe...

Yeah, there is definitely a lot more to it than that. Unfortunately, that preview includes less than half of the full short story.
It's odd that nobody at TSR/WOTC ever posted the entire thing, or at least labeled the file as being only an incomplete preview. |

| Amazon or one of its affiliates will likely have Realms of Magic where the full short story of "Guenhwyvar" was originally published. I'm not sure if it's out of print or not (but it seems likely). |

Actually, the thing is,
that my wife had Realms Of Magic and she told me that, yes, there waas a story about Guenhwyvar there, but that's a different one, and that's not it....
You're sure about that, though? |

| I am very sure. I just checked it against my copy of Realms of Magic. |

If you click the Chronology link in my sig, you can see the titles of all the non-novel stories (short stories, game modules, etc.) which RAS has been involved in, highlighted in gray.
Then you can scroll down to the "Annotated" section, where I provide a link where these non-novel publications can be found.
And like Fell said, there's only the one short story about Guen's origins.
Though it would be great if someone where to detail the complete history of how the panther figurine was passed from owner to owner down through the ages until it finally fell into the hands of Masoj Hun'ett, per Homeland . . . |
