I take it you mean Frank Black the protagonist of the TV show Millennium, not his talented namesake, Frank Black of The Pixies fame.
Yup!
Millennium may not mesh too well in the Realms, but I'd do anything to see a Season Four...alas, a moment of silence for two special graves in the Fox cemetary: Millennium, rest in peace and Firefly, you were so young....sniff.
I've got Milennium on hand to watch slowly thanks to a friend; I borrowed them as research into some secret society ideas I was playing with for a story. Grisly stuff, which is why I stopped watching early in the first season when it aired. Hope it gets less "serial killer of the week" and more into the meta-story soon....
Now how is it we sat there at GenCon and didn't get to geek-bond over Serenity/Firefly? I'd just finished indoctrinating Sarah into it and work on getting more and more fans. Color me crazy, but Mal & Company were more and more like the perfect D&D group in space (would that make them perfect adventurers in Gamma World, Metamorphosis Alpha, or Star Frontiers?).
Well, if I'm lucky and some work settles down, I might get started on your book before this month ends. Fingers crossed....

In Season One you get bits and pieces of the greater story before they break away from the killer of the week type episodes. Season Two is where the show really shines, culminating in the geatest two hours of television I've ever watched (IMHO of course, heh!).

Heh, actually, I think GenCon may be the perfect place to forget one show/game/book in that ocean of choices surrounding us. I did good to focus on my current surroundings and sign my name right. Overwhelmed? Just a tad.

I hear ya', finding time to read used to be so easy, but I think I might be able to win this race. I'm a little over halfway through Blackstaff and the finish line is in sight (cue the "Chariots of Fire" music, whoohoo!). Good stuff, enjoying it muchly!

I'm sorry to revive this fairly old topic. I just finished Bloodwalk for a second time last night, and felt I had to register here and post something in praise of James. Here goes:
Here in South Africa the FR novels are generally about half the price of other paperbacks, so I buy them as 'pulp fiction', not expecting too much out of them. A few have pleasantly surprised me, but none so far as much as Bloodwalk has. The story was well written, extremely well edited (I found only one grammatical error quite close to the start of the book) and had a very interesting cast one could really learn to love/hate in the short span of the novel.
Here's hoping we see a lot more from you James, and also a small hope we see more of Quin in the future. Thanks for the great book! |

Ah, please, revive at will!
I'm such a lurker around here (and on most message boards) that I should be classified as 'incorporeal' and my posts considered a 'haunting', heh!
Thanks so much for your post and I'm glad you enjoyed the book. As of yet the dreaded NDA prevents me from spilling any secret beans on my current project (very mysterious, mwahaha!), but I hope to eventually complete Quin's tale (and Eli's as well) someday.
In the meantime, I'll be lurking, reading, and writing and hope to provide some news soon.
Best,

Here's hoping you have the opportunity to go a little into their individual back-stories while at it. I would love to read about Quin's time in Mulhorand or at the monastery (he definitely has Monk levels) on the River of Swords, or flashbacks to his travels in Cormanthor, the High Forest (he does speak Gnoll) or Narfell (funny that he should have travelled where the Gargauthians came from). Also I’d love to read about Eli's actions before and after her parent's death, her relationship to the Shaaran (or is it Shaaryan; kinda confuses me like Thayan and Thayvian) and her sister.
But, I'm gushing and I shall stop, as it does not behove a man of my age. Glad I could tempt you out of your shadow walk.
Warm regards from sunny Sef Efrica. |

Thank you! And I certainly hope to. I'm in the middle of NDA territory now, but should my next project allow for the chance, Quin will be seen again...
Thanks again!

That would certainly be my goal.
Though considering my current project, should it succeed in the same capacity, providing more could take several books to reach some form of closure...not that I'd be complaining at all. On the other hand, developing new characters and newer ways to torment and challenge the traditional roles provided by fantasy 'heroes' is quite alot of fun as well.
The stand-alone novel format is good for getting out that complete thought with enough loose ends lying around to pick up and run with later on, but a trilogy here and there provides alot more room to move around in.
Best (and Happy New Year!),

Argh! I wish I could spoil...but WotC is keeping a tight lid on announcing future projects. About all I can say is that the final draft is in progress. As soon as I get a go ahead though, beans will be spilled all over the place and bags everywhere will be catless.

Aside from the Mystery Projecthat shall remain nameless, (Unless you can name ot now ) What other irons do you have in the fire?
I understand the time it takes toput something together, but not to have another James P Davis Realms book is kinda like having an actor like Sean Connery not making films!!

Wow ...I blush! You are far too kind, but thank you muchly for the compliment!
There's naught but Realms work on the horizon at present, a few short stories in the works here and there, but nothing on the way real soon. From what I've seen appearing on Amazon lately (cue the raised eyebrow 'mystery glance') I think a solid title may be known in a month or so...and from the title alone a sharp-eyed Realms observer may be able to draw a few conclusions about what's to come...
Gah! I hate being secretive, but I do enjoy teasing with hints. Though if all goes well by the time the secret is out I'll hopefully be starting work on yet another secret. (I'd lurve to get a shot at a "Realms of the Undead" short story! Mr. Byers? Are ya' reading this?)
So, until then, fingers crossed and eyes peeled.

"International Man of Mystery Glance", I like it! Now I just need a 'Q' for some cool gadgets like a combination cell phone/ mp3 player/ ninja-death-squad-slaying-gas-deployment unit. Sweet...oh, and it could check e-mail too! With a really cool ring-tone, like "Manic Monday" or "Weird Science" or...okay, maybe that's enough. Q can only manage so much. Also, I guess I'll have to visit another country sometime, until then I'm just 'National' and barely that.
I hafta' admit, I've been sick the last few days and I quite enjoy rambling on forums in "fever-speak", so please excuse my silly as I firmly believe laughter truly is the best medicine (when combined with lots of Orange Juice and Advil Cold and Sinus formula).

Ah, that would explain the lateness/earlyness of your reply. As for the 'fever-speak', I'm sure we don't mind. Perhaps pen down some thoughts while your brain is addled. Might make for good writing fodder... |

Nay , I don't think I overstated it at all. You knew early in his career that Connery was the Real Deal(ie; Thunderball or Dr. No), we have high hopes for you indeed.
Bloodwalk was not just a good realms book, it was a kick ass book. period.
Can't wait to get that title out of you. |

Mwahaha!
Well, considering the recent trend in free-copy contests, I may just start one of my own when the time comes that I have some on hand. Come to think of it, I may just celebrate any announcement of the new book by offering up a copy or two of Bloodwalk. Hmmm, could be fun...watch this space...and hopefully it won't be too much longer now (the suspense is making me sick, quite literally it seems...cough, sneeze, hack, eeewww, and repeat until miserable )

Hi James,
I just finished reading Bloodwalk and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I loved the combination of characters, both heroes and villains, plus I really appreciated the underlying plot. Congratulations on a great first book: hope to read more of your work in the future.
And it is simply refreshing to read an FR book that doesn't introduce yet another accursed RSE! :) |

Thanks for the kind words Eremite!
No RSE's just yet from this author, but I must admit I've got some ideas brewing. Maybe not on the scale of 'Realms Shaking', but certainly worth an ominous tremor or two.

As I predicted news has shown up online and I am running slightly behind it.
My next book for Forgotten Realms is book three in the Citadels series and is known as The Shield of Weeping Ghosts. Due out May 6, 2008.
Whew! As stated many moons ago, my bag is catless and beans are spilled all over the place. The secret is out, though if things go well, I should have full cat-bags and unspilt beans soon again.
Best,

My next book for Forgotten Realms is book three in the Citadels series and is known as The Shield of Weeping Ghosts. Due out May 6, 2008.
Whew! As stated many moons ago, my bag is catless and beans are spilled all over the place. The secret is out, though if things go well, I should have full cat-bags and unspilt beans soon again.
Best,

Well met
 Aye, always rely on Amazon to keep us informed well before WotC do 
Congratulations on getting the book slot in this series, James. Is there anything you can tell us about it? |

Well, it's a little early and more detailed info should be showing up on Amazon in a week or so, but I will say that the title suggests the location quite well (almost specifically). A forgotten little place (or is it rather, 'places'?) that's been around for a while and found me to tell its tale.
Okay, I still get to a be a little mysterious... |

| Glad to hear you'll be doing a new novel. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."
