Thank you all for your encouragement and support. To those who give the book a try, thank you and I hope you enjoy it.
you are the man! |
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. |

Two contest updates:
1) Given the upcoming holiday and the travel plans of potential entrants, I've extended the contest until next Monday, 11/26 at noon EST. 2) I am eliminating the original question #2, reducing the contest to four questions. This will not change the standings or chances of anyone who has already entered.
The contest questions and new dates are updated below.
Thanks to all who enter!
The questions for this contest all pertain to my first published short story "Freedom's Promise," which is in the Realms of the Dragons II anthology for the Forgotten Realms setting.
Contest Rules: Please send a private message to me here on Candlekeep (no emails please) with your answers to the four questions below (or as many of them as you can answer) by no later than 12pm noon (EST) on Monday November 26, 2007. Please only enter once. Give it a shot!
A grand prize winner will be randomly drawn from those who answer all five questions correctly (if more than one). The winner will be announced Tuesday November 27th. I will contact the winner and arrange for delivery of a free, signed copy.
Contest Questions: 1. Name the imp summoned by Aniolon Gruanthe. 2. Who is Ronatsinaderin? 3. Who edited Realms of the Dragons II? 4. List all the authors published in Realms of the Dragons II? |

I can actually announce the winner, chosen at random from all entrants, now. Thanks to everyone who entered!
*drumroll*
Congratulations Xysma! Please PM me with your address information and to whom I should address the autograph.
I am investigating what would be involved with an e-signing for anyone else who might be interested. I'll announce any details here.
Thanks again to everyone who entered the contest and to Candlekeep for hosting it. FR writers are lucky to have a community like this.
The book comes out tomorrow officially! I look forward to hearing the thoughts of any readers in the Book Club section Alaundo was kind enough to start! |

Well met
Congratulations indeed! I assume our winning novel enthusiast, Xysma, will be posting his comments in the Book Club in due course too
The pleasure was all ours, Ed. Many thanks for opening this competition up and giving the chance to us here at Candlekeep. |

My own local bookstores don't have it yet. I'd be curious to hear if others were able to find it. |

Congrats on your first novel Ed!!
I went out this morning and bought Neversfall at my local Barnes&Noble (I arrived early so it wasn't on the shelves yet, but I had somebody find it in the back for me), they also had it at the Borders store that I went to. I also picked up Crypt of the Moaning Diamond(Dungeons#4) by Rosemary Jones.
Now I just need to finish the series I'm currently reading so I can get started with these! |

As I mentioned in the PM I sent you, I've been bedridden for the past couple of days with a virus. I got pretty lucky, my wife was far more ill than I and my father and grandfather actually ended up in the hospital . Everyone is back to normal now, and I return to Candlekeep to find this great news. Thanks Ed. |
