Big news that I can finally share: Six Studios has acquired the rights to the first six books in the Riftwar Cycle (including the Empire Trilogy) for adaptation as a TV series!
I partipicated in a virtual panel discussing Fantasy Through the Decades with Michael J. Sullivan, Peter V. Brett, and Anthony Ryan (Beth Tabler, moderator) on January 28, 2022.
The draft of the final volume in the Wars of Light and Shadow series is DONE! Shown here is ground zero at my writing desk on the morning after. The major story points stayed true to the original one page outline that I first drafted back in 1972!
I will announce the official publication date ONLY when it is set in stone by the publisher to avoid disappointing anyone with a moving target.
Don Maitz and I have contributed art to several of the novels in Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar universe. In our shared Riftwar album, you can see the original cover art and illustrations I created for Grim Oak Press' limited edition of Daughter of the Empire (which I also co-authored with Ray).

Widowed by a violent conquest, imprisoned as a spoil of war, spirited Lady Elienne encounters a formidable visitation inside her locked cell. A powerful, unknown sorcerer promises her a reprieve in trade for a precarious fate: safe transfer from her ruined duchy to another world, there to become chosen bride for the Prince of Pendaire. But the perilous bargain depends on her late husband's unborn child, with the defenseless infant birthed as threatened centerpiece in a deadly struggle to upset the succession.
Alone with bare wits, Elienne faces entanglement in vicious intrigue, herself the target for ambitious usurpers already plotting Prince Darion's downfall through dark magic.
