Would this possible big fantasy novel be set in the Realms? Another shared world? Or a world of your own creation?
The latter, a setting and story I've noodled over for years, one that includes the character whose name I corrupted for Radu, as it turns out. The other possibilities, one anothing fantasy, one not, are also independent settings (the latter the real world).
Of course, I expect my new job to keep me busy, and I tend toward a busy social calendar, so I've no idea when I'll start earnest work on a new project. I hope, after I settle in to Edmonton, to make a weekend morning ritual of a few hours' writing in a coffee shop.
It's always a pleasure to chat with you folks. I'm sorry I haven't been able to do more of it this year.
Dave

Well met
..and 'tis a pleasure to have ye here at Candlekeep, Dave  Thank ye for taking the time to keep us updated with the latest developments.
Although I do echo Lord Rad's disappointment in Radu Malveen being taken out of Mistress of the Night  Nevertheless, I found both yours and Don Bassingthwaites Realms novels to be a splendid read and i'm certainly rubbing my hands in anticipation for the upcoming Priests novel |

Thanks very much, Dave - and if I might add, it was pleasure to work with your material and ideas. I don''t think I've ever had such fun doing research as I did reading through Black Wolf and Lord of Stormweather.
BTW, congrats on the new job with Bioware and welcome to Canada! (We will be doing regular testing to ensure you have the required blood-maple syrup level).

Well it is great to here and congratulations on your new job. Great, another Canadian in the Halls of the Forgotten Realms Authors, and I agree with Don about the maple sugar but then again you are going to be living in Edmonton.
If you were located in Quebec, you could have the great stable of sugar pie and the maple sirop right from the tree. :) |

| Everybody seems to be moving to Canada, and to Alberta no less, just at the time I left for Ottawa. Best of luck, Dave, in moving to my home province. Shame it had to be to Edmonton. |

Thanks for the information, Dave. I, for one, will regret not seeing Radu in action again.
On the other hand, the epic multiple view point fantasy sounds very promising. I wish you the best of luck.

Dave Gross:
Thanks for "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth" from Realms of the Dragons. It was a great read.
As someone who thinks King Lear is Shakespeare's finest work, I'll never quite look at the play the same way again.

Thanks for the kind words, SB. I'm glad you liked it, and it was a lot of fun to write. Perhaps perversely, I still haven't quite grokked Lear the way I know I'm supposed to do. Perhaps if I had children it would be easier. My favorite is still Much Ado, an opinion that nearly started a pub quarrel last Friday, if you can believe it! The other fellow, naturally, fancied Lear.

I had teenagers to raise at one point, so it was a bit easier.

A fine choice. I don't think there's any harm in having a favorite comedy and tragedy as well from his works

Oh my, well at least you said quarrel and not brawl. Can you imagine the latter?
Prison cell
Inmate One: What are you in for?
Inmate Two: Armed Robbery. What about you?
Inmate One: Assault and battery. Hey buddy!
Inmate Three (looking up): Yes?
Inmate One: What are you in for?
Inmate Three: I got into a fight because I liked a Shakespeare comedy over one of his tragedies.
Feel free to return to Talbot's tale any day or time if the publishing Gods are kind. He's becoming a very fascinating character.

Hi Dave
Being as Don worked with you on Mistress of the Night, and removed Radu Malveen from the book, are there any plans to have Radu in any future novels?
Also, are you working on anything else for the Realms at the moment or in the near future?
Thanks for your time |

Dear Dave,
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Mistress Of The Night that you and Don wrote. It was really fun to see a True Sharan priestess and how she acted. Thanks for the read!
