Reader questions tend to fall into
several categories:
-
general questions about my
writing (the process and the promotional aftermath)
-
upcoming projects
-
questions from aspiring
writers
-
questions specific to the
Forgotten Realms
-
a search for out-of-print or
hard-to-find stories
-
Elven language
-
questions that redefine the
word "chutzpah"

Promotions and reader
interaction

you answer email?
Q:
A lot of writers don't make their email addresses public, or if they

mind if I email you regularly?

moonblade as an inheritance for his daughter, Azariah. Will
there ever be a story about Azariah Craulnober?
Q: In the book
Evermeet, there are hints about a son born to Elaith
Craulnober and the exiled princess Amnestria. Will Elaith ever

Evermeet?

If we want a book about a particular character or topic, should we
write to Wizards of the Coast requesting it?

Questions from aspiring
writers
Q:
What advice do you give aspiring writers?
Q:
Should I get an agent? If so, how?
Q: I

about doing it?
Q: Would you
read my book/trilogy/short story/character sketch/outline and give
me your opinion?

like to hear about this great idea I have for a
story/character/trilogy/fantasy setting? If you like it,
you're welcome to use it.

okay with you?
Q.
Do you read fanfic?
Looking for hard-to-find books and
stories

containing your short stories. How can I get hold of
them?
Q:
I can't find copies of the Counselors
& Kings book (The Magehound, The Floodgate, The Wizardwar) in
bookstores, and the few used copies I can find online are
ridiculously expensive. Why can't I find these books?
Elven language info
Q:
I found
your site through the language links on the Elf Lore page. Can
you tell me where I could find a book that will help me learn to
speak Elvish?
And finally...
