Oh, man, I was afraid this whole thing was going to come up, but I wasn't going to be the one to bring it.
We published his world as a campaign setting in Dragon,
Might be a cool Pathfinder supplement someday
And that's a shame, really.
China Mieville couldn't wash Tolkien's jock.Well, crass as that might be, I'm not holding out many hopes that we see any significant Tolkien contributions in the Pathfinder setting anytime soon.

why would Tolkein being wearing a jock? Is he a full contact author?
Barbarossa, this community is divided on Tolkien. But don't worry, there's some serious Tolkienists around here...and more than just a few.

Tolkien was into the rugby pretty hardcore IIRC. Straight up hooligan. He and C. S. Lewis turned a car over in Liverpool after a game. True story.
That said,
Not to sound reactionary, but once this sort of thing gets started, it tends to snowball.
So, when is Stephen King writing Pathfinder?
I kid, I kid. Or do I? :P
Maybe I could get on board with Mikaze's request if it were just a little bigger and a little bolder.
Ah, Christopher Lee. Now there's a major Tolkien fan. ;D

He's also WAY too huge a writer to have the time to do something like a Pathfinder novel.That's a very honest and brave thing to admit :)
It's also immensely humorous to me, since I'd never heard of him before the Guide to the River Kingdoms.
Edit: But okay, Outsea is hugely awesome - good job China!
Really? China wrote the highly-acclaimed novels 'Perdido Street Station' and 'The Scar' and has won many prestigious science fiction and fantasy awards. And this is also the guy who coined 'New Weird'. As a librarian, I find it hard NOT to bump into his name every now and then (and a couple of my friends are China's hard-core fans).

An author whose take on Golarion I'd like to see is China Mieville. His work would fit right in with some of the pulp/weird fantasy Pathfinder strives for.It's cool that in the two years since this was posted, we were able to get China Mieville to create a chunk of Golarion in the form of Outsea, in the Guide to the River Kingdoms.
China is a long-time gamer and a great guy. We published his world as a campaign setting in Dragon, he's written Planet Stories introductions and has a story in an upcoming book. He's great.

I'm positively THRILLED that you were able to get him in the Guide to the River Kingdoms.
Thank you for making that happen. :)

Does he do shared worlds? I mean, who else could write about a dark hero/anti-hero from Alkenstar?
We would, of course, need stats for denim armour.
Out of all FR authors I'd prefer Grubb & Novak, then maybe Lowder, others are not interesting.

Roland's still Roland.
In his interview on The Gentleman Gamer, Ed revealed that he has a Pathfinder Tales novel coming out in the next year.
I know some will disagree with me, but my vote for an author that's good with anti-heroes and that I'd like to see write a Pathfinder novel, is Glen Cook. His Black Company series is still one of my favorite series to reread. The characters are dark, gritty, & sneaky @#&%#*%s that come across as more realistic then most characters from other books I've read.
