There's an interview with me up today at my publisher's website (I promise that my internet life is not going to be all-Sandstorm all-the-time from here on out, it's just that kind of week). Therein, I talk about how I wound up getting the opportunity to write a Forgotten Realms book in the first place, quite a bit about the book itself, and, heh, a little bit about my teaching "philosophy" when it comes to writing. Also, a bit about Clarion West. West is Best! (Look, sweetie, I made it all the way to the end before I used an exclamation point, and held myself to one just like you said!)
