Barnes and Noble warehouses have just received the first shipments of the anthology. Copies should be showing up on shelves any day now. Hoody Hoo!
Please Amazon show me that you have improved and get this into your warehouses soon.
And here's a question for the anthology authors out there from this tome. Do you get a copy from WOTC or are you stuck purchasing the novel from the stores like the rest of us?
Looking forward to the novel.

| IIRC from the contract, WotC will provide authors with a couple free copies, but not as many as for writing a novel. |

The funny thing is that, when I wrote for Realms of Shadow, I was given twenty-four, yes twenty-four copies of the anthology. More than I've ever been able to deal with, really; at least seven or eight are sitting in a pile in Calgary even now. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that for an anthology, it's six. An easier number to manage.
I don't know if the Hasbro takeover in the meantime is what made the difference, but I wonder. |

You are not wrong. The contract states that six copies will be given to each of us. |

Does that mean Murray Leeder needs to give 18 back? |

Nah, I got twenty-four copies for Realms of Shadow, and will get six for Realms of the Dragons Also. |

I wished the bookstores in my country would start receiving shipments earlier. 3-6 months later isn't very satisfying to an impatient Realms fan.
But nonetheless, at least the coming exams should slow down my Realms consumption. Three books in queue as of now: Thornhold, The Rite and Mistress of the Night. |

Heh. After my run in with a fifth grade class (I was ambushed), I could use 30 or so copies of the antho. I wonder if there is a contributor's in-house discount ... |

We can only dream. I was thinking of telling the folks at Borders what's up, but no. I figured they could look at the credit card statement, and that our fame was widely spread. But no.

I don't have any sort of blog. I am hesitant to set one up. It is difficult enough to find time to write and I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone.
I finally picked up a copy of RotDII and found it pretty cool (still waiting on comp copies, but got impatient). The stories are all great. Not sure which I liked best...guess I have to pick them all.
Looking forward to Maiden too...Kameran, Your excerpt was quite Tantalizing. Thanks for that. |

Well, a few of us have novels in the works -- Kam's put out Maiden of Pain this month, Ghostwalker (by me) is coming out in December / end of November, Bloodwalk (James P. Davis) and Son of Thunder (Murray Leeder) are coming out in 2006. Some of us are in the Realms of the Elves anthology (me, I know, not sure who else), which is in February.
That's what comes to mind off the top of my head. . . Maybe more. If there are any game products in the works, I know of them not.
Cheers

Excellent! Thanks for the info. I'm very excited about these upcoming novels. Initially I wasn't intrigued but the idea has really grown on me. I think that my initially thoughts were probably down to the quite non-descript series title. "Fighters" doesn't exactly say much... afterall, most characters we read of in FR novels are fighters in one way or another The need to follow suit with a class group for the novels appears a little forced. Anyway, thats very minor and i'm really looking forward to them all 
I'm glad to hear that some of you are writing for Realms of Elves too. This is probably the most anticipated FR anthology for me! Can't wait!
So those who don't have novels due.... were you just contracted for a single short story in RotDII or are there negotiations underway with WotC? Sorry if this is prying too much, just ignore if so |
