My next Forgotten Realms novel,The Godborn
So Wizards of the Coast has posted the prologue to the novel and you can read it here. I think it’s the best opening I’ve ever written, surpassing the openings of Shadowbred
I hope you enjoy.

I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again… What do we need to do to get you into full-time author status?
Ha! In the short run, I’d need to win the lottery and/or start earning a lot more money from writing (to replace my day job salary and still keep the status quo vis a vis my family’s lifestyle). Tough row to hoe. 🙂
That said, full time writer status will happen one day, just in the longer term.
I’ve always enjoyed your “By the numbers” posts about the ins and outs of the business side of writing. I think for the layman it’s hard to understand how some writers like Salavatore can be full-time, but you aren’t when in my mind I see you as equals. Meaning, I buy and read the same from both…both are as impactful to me personally. Obviously it’s about sales, but I guess it’s hard to understand why other people don’t buy/read/love in the same numbers when it seems like a given to me.
I couldnt agree with you more. Just thinking of the Cale trilogies makes my heart pound. Paul I hope you get new york times best seller for this. If I have to, I will buy out all the books I see at Chapters/indigo bookstore!!
Ha! Thanks, Noor.
Love it can’t wait.
