I respect that. We love the Realms for several reasons. Sometimes they're the same, sometimes not.

It was interesting seeing them fleshed out. Maybe some Dragonborn books will be published...

Never heard of them. Are they any good?

The Q Word and Other Stories, my first ebook collection, is now available for all platforms at Smashwords. If you like my Forgotten Realms books, I hope you'll check out the free sample. If you like that, I hope you'll buy the book, review it, and recommend it to others. Electronic self-publishing is a big new adventure for me, so please forgive the slightly-harder-than-usual sell. It's just that I would really like for this to turn into something.

Hi, Richard.

I hope you're free to divulge this much information...In the trilogy right after The Brotherhood of the Griffon, which, as you said, will still feature the same brotherhood, will we be seeing more DRAGONGORN? You see, they're the ones which hamper me from finishing Whisper of Venom, and some other things, too, albeit much minor compared to those creatures. I really like your style, and I've said it many times and will say it again, you're one of my favorite authors.


To each their own...the dragonborn are one of my favorite sub-stories within the trilogy. Hopefully they get plenty of stage time in final book of this trilogy.

Glad you like them, Merrith. In the course of writing about them, I became quite fond of them myself.

I have a new blog post up as a guest blogger on this site:

The 4e Monster Manual uses the term "Shadow Jaunt," but it's pretty much the same idea.
