They need to release what's left of their books in ebook format too. I know some people don't like ebooks, but a lot of people prefer them to hardcovers or paperbacks. These ebooks should boost their sales a bit.
They still need to release all (but one or two) of their anthologies, a couple RA Salvatore novels and a couple random books here and there. |

1) If they are set with just having Sundering books come out during this event, then please assure us that the release rate will be brought back to normal levels. Normal being 10-12 books a year.
2) The Realms is a very large place and I am sure we could get some stories in some back woods town or even in the Far East of Kara Tur. But I guess at this point it's a little too late since you can't just write a novel over the course of 3 or 4 months.
3) Erik has a great idea in selling short online stories from the WoTC site. This would be an amazingly brilliant way to fill that void. Shorter stories should make it easier for authors to avoid stepping on the toes of the Sundering story line. But it also provides a great way to provide some great side stories. AND they should be faster to write. |

They definitely need to expand the settings where the novels are taking place. Zakhara and Kara-Tur would be awesome! |

| @Caolin: I wish someone could promise you readers (and all us writers!) that WotC will start publishing a whole bunch of novels after the Sundering. But as I suggested previously, that may well depend on whether or not the Sundering novels sell well. |

I know and I appreciate the fact that you are participating in the discussion. The squeaky wheel gets the oil right? |

I readd American Gods and Neverwhere. Loved them both, neverwhere being my favorite. Trying to decide which of his to read next. He is easily for me one of the best writers I have read irregardless of genre.
He has a new book coming out soon called The Ocean at the End of the Lane that is supposed to be spooky. He had a children's book just come out last week. [:D}
already preordered his new book on kindle  |
