Okay, folks. Just a quick reminder that tomorrow (March 3rd) is the final day to enter my Name of the King contest. Get those last-minute entries in now!

Also, I just did another interview, for thems who’s interested. This one’s a little–er, a lot–tongue in cheek, except my comments on the book itself.

So for those of you who might be interested, I’ve got an interview up on Suvudu (the Random House blog site). I talk a bit about the inspirations behind The Conqueror’s Shadow, what I learned from RPG writing, what’s next for me, and similar stuff.

I hope you’ll check it out. And thanks to Matt Staggs for asking the questions.

(I hope to be doing several more interviews around the net in the near future; more on those as they happen.)

My sincerest thanks to everyone–family, friends, coworkers, editors, and readers–for helping me get this far. I hope you enjoy the book, and I hope you’ll all be with me for many years to come.

I need your help in coming up with a name–well, technically a title–for a character in my upcoming novel, The Goblin Corps. You could win both an acknowledgment in the book and a free, signed copy of either The Goblin Corps or The Conqueror’s Shadow.

Click here for details.

Looking forward to hearing what you come up with. πŸ™‚

Additionally, Expeditious Retreat’s Freeport Companion for 4E is out now.

January 21, 2010: Warlord’s Legacy sample

So, did you like The Conqueror’s Shadow, and are trying to decide if you want to get The Warlord’s Legacy? Or are you still trying to make up your mind about both?

Let’s help you out with that. Random House has posted a sample of The Warlord’s Legacy as part of their "50 Page Fridays" feature. It’s straight from the text, it’s uncut, and it’s free. Clicky, clicky.

(And if you missed it earlier, the sample of The Conqueror’s Shadow is still available as well, here.)

While you’re at it, don’t forget the "Say What" contest, which ends in 10 days. And yeah, I real
