Seriously, I hope at least some of you will view it as good news. I've signed to write three more Forgotten Realms novels to follow the current trilogy that begins with The Captive Flame (available from fine booksellers everywhere!)

Oh, well, that's just awful news. Way to start a man's day on a bad note!
Seriously, though, congratulations. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for them as they slowly trickle down to my corner of the world. |

Bad news indeed for the realms! You will bother us with more of your excellent novels, how dare you?  
How am I supposed to ever finish all realms novels I want to read, when you spoil my plans by creating more!? And more..? And make me buy them!? Because... I...must...buy...novels..from Byers... Argh!
I am surprised in a very positive way that WoTC is securing continuity with one of their best authors at a stage that early.
Will the other trilogy also feature Aoth as the main character? Is there any teaser info you may give us regarding characters, setting etc? |

Excellent news, Richard!  Congratulations! WotC made the right decision.
Will the next trilogy also feature Aoth and the Brotherhood? Is Thay the main setting?

Hi, all. Thanks for your good wishes.
All I can tell you right now is that the three books will feature characters from the Brotherhood of the Griffon. I'll provide more info when I can.
I actually have another piece of news. I just sold my first piece of Pathfinder fiction. It's a novelette that will run on the Paizo website in four installments, probably starting late October. I'll let you know when I know for sure. I hope everyone will check it out. |

All your books have been excellent! I have to confess though, the spellplague debacle has caused me to not read FR novels since you wrote the Rogue Dragon trilogy. That trilogy was fantastic!!!!
I just cannot get myself motivated to read spellplague realms fiction.
Congratulations! |

Mournblade, you should. There are a lot of good novels set in the post spellplague era. |

"some of you view it as good news"?? Great. Another author (of skill and talent) writes more for our favorite setting. How could any of us NOT consider that good news. The only way to make it better news would to let me know that you'll be sending me a signed copy of these novels (HINT HINT!)and saving me the trouble of going to my local bookstore and nagging the clerk behind the counter as to where the fantasy-adventure section ahs been moved to this week!
Congrats on the work, I personally look forward to reading every printed word. |

Agreed. You can start with Richard's The Haunted Lands trilogy. Just be prepared to see Thay in its darkest, most sinister image. Guaranteed to give you some sleepless nights, as you'd be compelled to devour them till the very last word. |

| This news is in the "great" column for sure. I've only read a few of your books (Haunted Lands Trilogy, The Captive Flame, Shattered Mask) and they have been among my favorite FR books so I am very much looking forward to these books (and I can't wait for Whisper of Venom). I look forward to finding out who is in it and where it takes place. |

Thanks, guys.
Tyrant: Whisper of Venom picks up right where The Captive Flame leaves off, with the same bunch of characters. |

I wasn't very clear in what I meant to say. I was meaning the new trilogy you are announcing as far as finding out who's in it and where it takes place, which I know you can't really say much about right now so we must wait.
I don't know if you can comment on this or if this is the place to ask as opposed to the other section meant for questions, but is the publishing schedule with The Brotherhood of the Griffon series a fluke or is there a real possibility of seeing more novels released less than a year apart in the future (obviously barring factors that would normally make it a must to space them out a year)? |

That's great news!
The Haunted Lands is my favorite FR trilogy, and the first two installments of the Brotherhood of the Griffon have been great. I'm really looking forward to your upcoming FR novels.
