Thank you for this info on your faith. Being Belgian, i have never met a mormon (that i know of) and did not at all know what it entailed. I firmly believe any relifion you choose, whether it’s (a branch of) christianity, paganism… as long as you have and live by the morals you speak of, that’s what matters, not whatever deity is behind a curtain.
I just started to read your new book series written with Margaret Weis, Bones of the Dragons, and was very disappointed in not being able to continue to read because of the amount of profanity in there. Once the “f” word appeared, it was over for me. It has become so hard to find authors anymore that can write a good story without putting profanity and gratuitous sex into their books and since your other books don’t follow this trend, I thought I was safe. Unfortunately, that is what seems to sell books today and it is very disheartening to see that you have followed this trend. Another author I have to cross off my list of being able to read.
I too would really like to know why the change in general tone of the book. I was blown away that you would have the f word in your book.
Umm…nevermind I found the answer to my own question in the subject of “My History”. I think it’s very nice to find out that she did end up with you!
So question about your wife? Is your wife Laura Hickman, the girlfriend – Laura Curtis that said no she wouldn’t wait for you? Just curious…
*I am reading*…. lost my ability to spell due to my anxiety for this epic game about to be released in 28 days!
I am an RM in Virginia in YSA branch. I ream reading all of the Starcraft books before StarCraft 2 is released and I am about to start Speed of Darkness. Thank you for posting this on your website.
While I am not a Mormon (I’m a Jew) I do appreciate your dedication to your faith. If only more people in this world were like you.
Thank you for your kind words, Dave!
Sometime in 1987 or 88 I got my first copy of the Dragonlance Chronicles. Absolutely loved the fact that you supported my hobbies and my beliefs as well. And i agree with you in regards to the D&D(r) medium, its a tool without alot of restrictions. Thanks for your excellent works.

Mr. Hickman,
It is refreshing to see an author who has a known faith and who is not shy about proclaiming that faith! I enjoy your work and look forward to the new series this Summer! Take care Sir and God bless!

Tracy, it is great to see you publishing this here. I am also a member of the church, and an officer in the US Army. I have tried my entire career to do as you have done and ensure all who know me understand my beliefs. I became a fan of yours after reading in a bookstore your testimony in the back of Chronicles. Ever since I have read you with gusto and have written myself based on your example. Amen to you brother!
