You know, it looks fine on the full-size picture, but that barbarian's fur just looks inappropriate at thumbnail size.
He's a proud barbarian....
Cunningham - this is a definite must buy for me!
Awesome, can't wait!
Elaine, is this the slavic-themed novel you were hinting at some time ago ? I'm really happy to see this particular patch of Golarion in your care !
Gorbacz, if memory serves, the novel I mentioned a while back was something else--a WIP with the working title, "The Princess and the Psotnik." It's something I started a couple of years back as a short story, and a friend whose opinion I greatly respect suggested that it worked better as the first chapter of a novel. Its roots are in the trickster stories of Slavic folklore as well as the Vasilisa and the "clever common man" tales.
But right now I'm all about WINTER WITCH, and there's a project (different publisher) in the pipeline right after that, so P&P will remain a short story for quite some time to come.
Diving back into work.....

We have some good news—you won't have to wait until September for the first book in our Pathfinder Fiction line to arrive!
Dave Gross has turned in a fantastic manuscript for Prince of Wolves, and we've been able to adjust the release schedule so that his novel will now kick off the line at Gen Con Indy in August! Elaine Cunningham's Winter Witch will move to fill the October slot that Prince of Wolves previously occupied.
We've already adjusted subscriptions so that subscribers will receive Prince of Wolves as their starting volume in August, and Winter Witch will be shipped to them in October. Subscribers don't need to do anything... except count the days to August!
Keep your eye on paizo.com—we'll be unveiling final cover art for both of these novels in the near future, and in just a few months, we'll be announcing more books and authors for 2011!
Received the notice in my e-mailbox. Awesomesauce-Huzzah!
Wow, this was another nice surprise.
So, Dave out-paced Elaine? Her revenge now must be to write a novel twice as good! {Wrings handles in villainous anticipation}
Hi Elaine- it's Marcus.
Thrilled to see you over here, and am eagerly awaiting this novel!

We've updated the product image to reflect the finished product.
This isn't the final cover text though, right?
Another great image by Jesper Esjing!

Really, really dig this cover.
I'm curious about whether or not the witches of Irrisen tend to rock the horns like the one on this cover. Reminds me of that Irish folk tale about the horned women.
Feeling impatient...
Do we know when it will go out yet, finished prince of wolves the other day, after finally getting it, and I want more pathfinder fiction desperately...

Almost finished myself - very much looking forward to this as well!
I liked Elfshadow fine, but Elaine really caught my attention with just how different Daughter of the Drow and it's sequels were.
On topic, Elfshadow was one of my all time fav FR novels. So i am really looking forward to this book. Not to mention Irrisen is the top area in Golarion I want to know more about.
me too
I cant wait to see this area worked up more and those books were some of my favorite Harper books in that series
When will this be available on iBooks? I just looked for it and can't find it.The previous uploads we sent them each took between 7 and 14 days to go live.
Will I be able to get a copy that works with my Kindle?

The ePub version works just fine, it just has to be run through a converter. There is one called Calibre that is free and quite nice.

Ah, cool. I was afraid there would be DRM on the ePub that wouldn't let me convert.
I've been interested in the Pathfinder novels since I heard about them, but was reluctant to purchase them since getting my Kindle. I don't read many dead tree books any more and usually only purchase them to collect and hopefully get signed.
I'll pick up the ePub of this book when it's released. I'll have to get some of the other ePub Pathfinder fiction, too, since I now know it can be converted.

All ePubs sold through the iBookstore have DRM: the same one the iTunes music store uses. However, ePubs purchased directly from Paizo do not contain DRM: they are watermarked instead.

'Elfshadow' was definitely one of my favorite FR novels, too, sharing the top spot with 'Cormyr: A Novel' and 'Evermeet'. I just loved the dialogue and how *alive* every character felt!
Having said that, I expect great things from Elaine in the future; may she write many, many more novels based in Golarion. :)

Thought it (like the first PF Tales) was great.
BTW #1: What was up with what's his face being like "Why don't we all stop making decisions for each other?" Hello? She's a kid. Parents/Guardians make those kinds of decisions for those in their custody. It's the way it works. If your baby is sitting in the middle of the road, obstructing traffic, and when you go to pick her up, she starts crying in protest, do you leave her there because you don't want to utilize force on her, i.e. you want to 'respect her rights'? No, you pick her up and take her home. Liv could have gone back to Whitethrone when she hit 18.
BTW #2: Why didn't they resurrect her? "Sis, I really love you, but resurrect you? You're not even worth me entertaining the thought." lol
I am about 1/3rd the way threw the book and i really really like it. I hope Elaine writes many more pathfinder tales.
I see now that two subscribers have their copies...can anyone tell us all when does the book go on sale on the shelves of my FLGS? Both amazon and bn.com say it's due out in December and I know that's not right (at least, I hope it isn't).

Well I don't have my book. I have the PDF of the book. I won't have the actual book until next week some time likely.
I would expect the book to show up in stores then. But that is just a guess. Normally about the time my books show up, they start showing up in the stores the same week.

** spoiler omitted **
As to resurrection, I'd say a) such magic goes against her tribe (and maybe Whitethrone too) and b) novels often don't sport the raise dead option. (Aside, this was one of my grumblings about Waterdeep. Rich socialite family can't afford to spring for a Raise Dead?)

One other point. I like that the book presented Liv's option of staying in Whitethrone as a reasonable option, even though it wasn't necessarily a haven for 'good'. Life there might have been hard for others, but not for Liv. Glad it didn't get too preachy or make it so where only some really evil person would want to stay there.

AH! I'm a day late! Be right back...

I have it! No time to chat, reading to do.
Bye.

Just finished this book. Really enjoyed it for the most part, though I have to say some of the thematic similarities to Prince of Wolves had me concerned for the first few chapters.
Thankfully these things pretty much faded into minor background matters by the midpoint of the book (Probably even before that). But that they were there at all felt like I was being force-fed certain concepts for reasons I was not aware of.
That said, I'll repeat myself. This is a really good book, looking forward to more from Elaine and the rest of the Pathfinder Tales authors.

I finished it yesterday and really liked it. i didn't think it was as good as Elfshadow book by Elaine but it was still good. I do like the are that was the main focus of the book though.
I don't want to be put off the entire series but a bad first impression has left me a little wary of picking this one up. I've never read any of Elaine's other work, can someone point me to where I would find some of the short stories so I can see if her writing style works for me.
You can find a list of her works here, which include her short stories. Elaine is a very solid writer who has the gift of breathing life into her characters instead of giving us cardboard cutouts. I think one of Elaine's best Forgotten Realms novels was Evermeet. I really loved that one.
All ePubs sold through the iBookstore have DRM: the same one the iTunes music store uses. However, ePubs purchased directly from Paizo do not contain DRM: they are watermarked instead.
I just downloaded my first Piazo ebook (Winter Witch) which I pruchased directly from the Paizo website. When I try and upload the EPUB to Stanza on my iPhone, however, I get an error message saying the file contains DRM (hack-spit) and it cannot be read by Stanza.
So, *is* Piazo using DRM on the ePub books purchased from their website? I hope not as I won't be buying any more ebooks if they do. If not, does anyone have a clue what my problem might be?
