Other Upcoming Releases:
Elaine Cunningham - Restoration (Songs and Swords, Book 6)
According to Elaine Cunningham's website Restoration is a Starlight and Shadows book, picking up several years after the end of "Windwalker."
Either way I'm looking forward to it.

I think you mean that it picks up after the last Arilyn novel. There, as far as Elaine has said, are no plans to continue the Liriel novels. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I think the confusion stems from the description of one of the short stories in the Best of EC:

New updates from Amazon:
"Undead", Book 2 of RLB's Haunted Land trilogy, is listde for a March 2008 release, which has been generally known for a while as its listed in the adverts in the back of a lot of recent FR novels. Also, for those who are collecting the Legend of Drizzt hardcovers, "Book XIII: Sea of Swords" releases in March next year. It seems that, as its been retroactively removed from the "Paths of Darkness" series, [such is the power of Drizzt as a market force that he can alter the warp and weft of trilogies passed], "Servant of the Shard" will not be included in these hardcover printings. If that's not enough Drizzt in the space of one month to satisfy you, take heart, as a "twentieth anniversary collector's edition" of Book 2 is also beeing printed that month.
Here, however, is relatively fresh news: A listing has recently appeared on Amazon.ca for "Reclamation", Songs and Swords Book VI, by Elaine Cunningham. This listing has the long anticipated novel releasing on March 4th, 2008. This is Amazon, so what they say should be taken with a grain of salt; [when you're dealing with the number of books their system does, mistakes will inevitably be made I suppose], but it would be really cool if this info was correct. I'm pretty sure that this is my personal "most highly anticipated" Realms novel right now, and I'm anticipating quite a few!

WotC's April 2008 products are starting to appear on Amazon. The Realms releases include:
the paperback printing of the Legend of Drizzt edition of "The Legacy"
the mass market paperback printing of "Swords of Dragonfire", Book 2 of the Knights of Myth Drannor by Ed Greenwood
and the next Citadels novel: "Obsidian Ridge", by Jess Lebow
Also, the Amazon listing for Songs and Swords VI, "Reclamation", hasn't gone away, and still lists the novel as a March 4th 2008 release. Glorious!

Ah, my apologies. I can't post links from this computer, but I found it this way:
Go to www.amazon.ca , search in "books" for "obsidian ridge", and it should show up as the first and only result. I found it the first time by searching in books for wizards of the coast and then sorting the search results by publication date; [the site gives you the option to do this]. Sorting the list this way shows the products WotC will publish farthest in the future first, and "Obsidian Ridge" was near the top of the list, along with the other April 08 releases.
I hope you can find it and that I didn't imagine it!
Edit: I didn't put the link to amazon.ca into this post. It happened when I posted the message and it does not work.
Mod edit: The link wasn't working because it acquired a comma. I moved the comma over, so the link now works.

| Well, Jess Lebow impressed me with his last novel--I'm happy to hear he has another one on the way. |

Well I'll be! I'd been checking amazon.ca for WotC updates fairly regularly for the last couple of days, as its rolling back around to that time of the month again, but was actually alerted to the presence of the update by Dragon Reader in the "Citadels Series" thread. Can't turn my back for a minute...
Anyhow, for the record, May 2008 will see the release of "The Shield of Weeping Ghosts" by James P Davis, the third novel in "The Citadels". Hurrah!
Its early days yet, I suppose, but Paul S Kemp's last Twilight War novel "Shadowrealm" isn't on amazon's May 08 list yet. Hope this will change in time; the Twilight War novels have come pretty close together, but Paul writes wicked cliffhangers and I'd hate to have to wait a day longer than necissary!
And now for something new: There is now an item listed on amazon.ca called "Swordmage". Under the "product details" section of its entry it is listed as having 352 pages, the same as a lot of FR novels. Its also a hardcover and its written by Richard Baker. Its priced at $29.something Canadian which is cheap for a WotC hardcover, but could this be a new novel from Rich Baker? Hmm, very interesting.
As I believe has been noted elsewhere, Elaine Cunningham's Songs and Swords novel "Reclamation" has been bumped back from March 4th 2008 to April 1st 2008. No matter; it shall still come soon enough. And then, joy shall reign from a golden throne.
Oh, and the new mass market paperback printing of RAS's "Starless Night" will hit next May as well.
Though there's no release date yet, and the announcement was made over in the "2008 FR rpg products" thread by the author himself, this is the upcoming novels thread, so: Steven Schend has said that he has written a sequel to "Blackstaff" called "Blackstaff Tower", which will be released some time in autumn of 2008. Let there be much jubilation!
An OT sidenote: Just because there are people who might like to know, the third of Margaret Weis's "Dark Disciple" Dragonlance novels appears to be scheduled for May 2008. It is entitled "Amber and Blood".
For those who wish to varify my findings, I apologize for my inability to post links. Go to www.amazon.ca search in "books" for "wizards of the coast". You then have the option to sort your search results; do so by "publication date", the last option in the box. May 08's products should appear at the top of that list. Hopefully you'll be able to turn up any mistakes I've made!

Sorry folks - I have fallen a little behind - main list is updated through 2007 - working on the 2008 portion now.
A box arrived from Amazon.com today with 8 Forgotten Realms novels in it - most of this year's paperback releases - all for $42 bucks. Gotta love 4-for-3 promotions... |

Thanks for posting this, Red Walker.
Sorry, guys; I've actually known about this date for a while now. I was waiting until WotC announced another wholly new book to put together another post, but its better that everyone know the bad news sooner, I guess. I, too, was very disappointed. Amazon had originally listed the book for March next year. Ah, well, hopefully it'll be the better for the delay.
Speaking of bad novel news, here's some more, [I've been around but not posting or checking too much, due to school, so this may already be common knowledge]: Amazon is now listing Paul Kemp's "Shadowrealm", [Twilight War 3], as a September 2 2008 release, a delay of four months from the original May date. Noooo!
Also, Amazon now has the expected listing for "The Sword Never Sleeps", Book 3 of Ed Greenwood's Knights of Myth Drannor, which comes out in August, on the 5th I think. The site doesn't list "sentinelspire" yet for some reason.
Also, in a RAS interview I read a short time ago, [on a fantasy novel centric site called "fantasy book critic"], he referred to the second Transitions novel as "The Pirate King". Yarr!
Oh, and the date for Lisa Smedman's "Ascendancy of the Last" has not been changed. Lolth will still rock the goodly house and kill all our favourite Eilistraeens despite all foreshadowing to the contrary, [which can go on record as my personal cynical prediction], on June 3 2008.
I hope to start posting more regularly again soon. I've started a couple of posts relating to my 4 E opinions, just to add to the discussion, but haven't managed to finish them yet.

Consider me unpleasantly surprised about the novel "push-backs". |

Something rather strange:
Amazon.ca now has a listing for Steven Schend's Blackstaff Tower: according to the site's [not always reliable] catalogue, the novel is slated for September 2nd, 2008, which is cool because that's earlier than I was personally expecting. But, the full title of the product according to amazon is "Blackstaff Tower: Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep". Could this be a series of Waterdeep centric stand alones overseen by Ed in a manner similar to RAS's involvement in WotSQ? Interesting... Also, this will prove a good litmus test whereby we may determine if WotC has truly gone irrevocably insane: if they are indeed doing a Waterdeep stand alone set, and they do not at least offer one of the slots to Elaine Cunningham, I think we can safely assume that they have tragicly lapsed into gibbering madness. Yet Blackstaff Tower should be good regardless.

But remember that Elaine Cunningham is working on other projects now--she may simply not have the time to write any more FR novels in the near future.

Hello all,
Haven't been posting, [as I just happen to not be reading much Realms stuff right now, and don't have much to say about 4 E], but I've just found some things on amazon's schedule that are rather disturbing:
As usual, this info comes with the qualifier that amazon.ca is not always the font of truth, but their list is showing some delays in WotC's release catalogue:
The Sword Never Sleeps, by Ed Greenwood: now listed for November 2008, [Mayhap this has something to do with Ed also having to hand in Dark Vengeance to Tor and Arch Wizard to Solaris for publication this year.]
Shadowrealm, by Paul S Kemp: delayed again, now listed for December 2008
Reclamation, by Elaine Cunningham: The final novel in the Songs and Swords series is no longer listed as forthcoming from WotC on amazon.ca or [I think] amazon.com; according to these sites it does not have a release date. The change doesn't seem to have caught up with the .uk or .de sites yet. [The hey?]
Perhaps this is just a short lived schedule hiccup? Maybe? |

| It does seem like a lot of books are being "pushed back". For example, I recently heard on the WotC boards that Swordmage will be out in September instead of May. |

Yes, think of Ed's involvement as like RAS' WotSQ but with a good healthy dose of "Stan Lee Presents" from your old Marvel Comics. In other words, Ed built the bible for the new Waterdeep (along with the FR team) and we authors of the novels played in the sandbox....breaking a few toys....bringing a few of our own....and generally getting sand in uncomfortable places.
