that will be the first fantasy novel I will be buying in years

I like how you guys rewarded the authors that wrote for the Adventure Paths. Thank you for giving them the honor of starting off your Pathfinder Fiction line. You guys rock.

I'm pretty sure it's less reward and more a matter of working with people they know and trust instead of a bunch of unknowns.
Mass market paperbacks for $9.99? That seems a bit...steep, no?
It is a bit on the high end but not out of line with newer books, but it is where we needed to be to make these books a go. I wish we could have hit $7.99 but that just wasn't possible unless we could print a LOT of books. Here is to hoping that this line is so successful that on subsequent books we can print a LOT of books and lower the price!

From your lips (or would that be fingers?) to the gods' ears.
I'm glad Paizo chose the mass market format rather than the larger and more expensive trade paperback.
I'm looking forward to this. Elaine's story was the first Pathfinder fiction I actually read (having skipped over it in previous Adventure Paths).
As I grow older I find myself more finicky about the fantasy I read (which is a shame because I used to love everything, and I almost resent whatever it is that's changed about me). Nevertheless, her half-elven water druid was a real treat.
And Irrisen's a real winner in chpoice of location and topic!
Go Elaine! You won me over the first time, I have no doubts you'll do it again!
Hmm. Looks interesting. Something very bad is about to happen when someone selling what they thought were fake maps that they'd made up start bringing back satisfied customers wanting more such maps...
My only problem is lack of bookshelf space. Hmm, clear out some of the old Cormyr stuff to make space for this?

OMFG! sorry, hem can't wait! Elaine Is one of my all-time-favorite authors!

Me neither -- like yourself, I think Elaine's novels and short stories have been amazing! And her ability to write dialogue and believable characters of all walks of life is almost uncanny. I've immensely enjoyed her writing from 'Elfshadow' and 'Windwalker' to 'City of Splendors' and 'The Dark Tapestry' (to name just a few examples), and not only that, but they've also left a lasting impression on my GMing. Go, Elaine! :)
For a bug-lover from Osirion, you have a surprisingly good taste, Boerngrim! ;P
If one were to read both Winter Witch and The Witchwar Legacy, would you recommend reading them in a particular order? (I'm guessing that the module might contain spoilers for the novel...)

Don't worry, you may see some level of easter-egging between the two, but we'd never put spoilers for one in the other.

We haven't even outlined Witchwar Legacy yet and Elaine is still writing The Winter Witch. The two products (one a module and one a novel) both take place in the same nation at roughly the same time period, but deal with vastly different elements. I think it will be fun to throw some novel Easter eggs in the module, but you will not need to read one to enjoy the other, and you needn't approach them in a specific order.
