I'm looking forward to all of them.

Sounds good to me, but don't forget to smell some roses along the way, okay?

You and I may be the only ones on this board that know the answer to that.

I'm sure that you have a lot of potential stories whirling about in your mind.
Does a KEEP prequel have to be "first age?" A novel about how Glaeken captured Rasalom and imprisoned him in THE KEEP would sure be a thrilling read!

FPW,
You can do nothing but write Jack books til the end of time in my (and many of my family's and friends') opinions, and we'd be thrilled. But we'll happily take whatever you send our way.
Always harbored a love for werewolf stories, so that comment above certainly caught my eye. Ever considered one?

The "Other" Otherness - more of a curmudgeon than inimical when you get right down to it, and definitely less Adversarial.

Lots of stories start at the end and you spend the entire book wondering how does it end up there. [SIZE="1"]Not trying to tell you your business or anything, I'm just saying[/SIZE].

The same could be said of any Prequel.
The suspense in that kind of novel would have to be in how Galeken is finally able to lure "R" into the Keep and trap him there. Glaeken would have to be either astonishingly clever or there would have to be a monstrous battle.
