merlinscribeFirst of all, a happy 2025 to everyone.
Deliverance of Dragons is wending its way through the proofing process, wherein the author(s) discover they gave multiple chapters the same title, the same moonturn, and often forgot their calendars completely. Fortunately our copyeditor is a very patient man, and has uncomplainingly caught all our mistakes. Any mistakes remaining are entirely mine: feel free to point them out since we might be able to fix them in the mm paperback.
Once we're past this, copyediting and proofing are done. I'm very excited about getting the book on-press. And then it will be May, and we will all have copies in our hands.

Date: 2025-03-30 10:16 pm (UTC)I've pre-ordered it from my local bookstore. Thank you for your effort and patience in finishing this series and not giving up (like a certain GRRM). The Dragon Prophesy is my favorite of the 3 trilogies!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Completely disappointed

Please rewrite or write write a part two to Deliverance of Dragons I beg you. Lastly it wouldn’t hurt to take some notes from Obsidian with personalities and examples of exactly what happens and why. Thank you.

Date: 2025-05-28 04:43 pm (UTC)I am curious, how long was the original manuscript you handed over vs. the final cut? I ask because I felt like I could almost physically see where portions of the story had been removed for brevity, presumably by or at the behest of Tor/editorial staff. Will those deleted scenes ever see the light of day? I relished all of the Rune/Vie interactions and have been left craving more!
Thank you sincerely for all of the interactions here and the transparency you’ve demonstrated! And thank you for writing my favorite books (my son Kellen may want to have a word one day though).
Whooo!

Date: 2025-08-31 05:57 am (UTC)Like others, I can see how painful the editing process must have been. I would have loved to read the story whole. I also know just how short the attention span of a person can get, and I understand why the cuts were made. I can read between the lines, but I would love to read YET MORE BOOKS if you and the team have it in you.
If you need a letter-writing campaign to make it happen, let us know where to aim and the tone you think will work best.
Thanks again!
More?
