Does it look like it will be released this year? |

Yes. I believe it's slated for November. Shouldn't be too much longer before that third trimester catalog hits, then I can talk about it.

Thank you. This year? Well then it's either the Lost Empires book that Richard Baker already hinted at or a new regional supplement. I know you can't confirm or deny. 
Vhaeraun be praised perhaps someone listened to my prayers as to the Vilhon Reach being updated. After all, your story in Arrabar and Lisa Smedman's new novel in Hlondeth make that area a hot bed of activity right now. |

Earlier you mentioned that theres an FR supplement you worked on coming out in the last quarter is it still coming out?
Gaming Report got a hold of WOTCs releases for the rest of the year and theres no FR Supplements after Serpent Kingdoms in July

As far as I know, it is. But I'm not "in the loop" on everything, so it's entirely possible it got moved back. However, that list does not look complete. I'll see if I can find out and get back to you.

See this is what happans when you dont check into Candlekeep often enough Thomas! 
Actually the Fire Storm has been and gone, poor Rich had to put the Inferno on the FR Gen and Realm list on this issue. Apparently the list is incomplete and Rich confirmed we are getting a third FR book around October |

Thank you for doing so. Not "in the loop????!!!!" What? Oh wait, I get it, that way you always have a plausible denial in case something happens. Clever thinking. Those drow characters in Insurrection taught you something.  |

Hey, Sirius.
Thanks for the congrats! 
I'm sorry it took me so long to respond; I was laboring under a deadline for which I was late and needed to finish before I could indulge in a little message-board browsing.
Anyway, I appreciate the sentiments, and the award. It's always gratifying to be noticed in such a manner.

You are welcome again. Laboring under a deadline? FR related or something else? |

Hi Mr. Reid
I think I read somewhere that you have been working on Shining South, a Realms supplement scheduled for November.
Can you tease us a bit about the contents?
Please?
Pretty please?
Pretty please with sugar on the top? |

That's a good thread to ask questions about The Shining South book since the author created it. |

I just completed the first draft of The Ruby Guardian, the second book of the Scions of Arrabar trilogy. It's with the editor now, and in about a month or so, I'll get his comments back and begin the revisions.

I was hoping it was that piece of work which I am eagerly looking forward to. Revisions? It's not perfect the first time around?
Thank you for the reply. |

No, not yet. I've seen a version of it, but it wasn't a final, and until it shows up in a public place (WotC website or Amazon), I shouldn't be spilling those beans. Won't be much longer now, however.

It's the same artist who painted The Sapphire Crescent, Duane O. Meyers. My understanding is that he will paint all three. Incidentally, what he did for The Ruby Guardian is just as cool as the first one, IMO.

Thanks for the name. I'll have to keep a sharp eye out to see other work by him. I look forward to seeing the cover for The Ruby Guardian as Meyer's work on the first book was great. |

As requested, here is a link to The Ruby Guardian on WotC's site so you can see the cover art.

...and what outstanding artwork it is too Certainly fitting in with cover art for the first novel. Beautiful.
Cant wait for the novel, this series ranks up there with Sembia and WotSQ as my all-time favorite FR series. |

Thomas,
November seems too far away. Wish I could read it now, or in the very least a sample chapter to get me even more anxious to the Ruby Guardian, and can you tell us Thomas who is the one that is represented on the front cover and didn't we see her in first book, wasn't she the returned Aunt? |

hello mr. reid

its my first work and im glad to have started with such a splendid serie
im translating insurrection now and i know i might be needing your assistance during the process
in dissolution pharaun and ryld were everyone's favorite

-jeggred: hes a terminator!!
-valas: i really loved his parts of the book, even though he cant levitate |
