Just wondering if you ever wrote a book to in the bronze canticles seires ???
Absolutely … as soon as I get the website up and running you’ll be able to read all about it under my works with Laura Hickman.
I was wondering do you have books in german? a friend wants to know also how many books total have and margaret weis written together?
That answer is … yes, we have most of our books available in German as well as many other languages around the globe. As to how many books total, I think a quick check of my bibliography should answer that question.
HI! First, loved the Death Gate Cycle. 2nd, I have not yet (and may not) seen the movie Avatar; however, when watching commercials on the movie, the creatures, humanoids, and mostly the floating land masses reminded me of mental pictures I had while reathing the DGC. Any chance you were calaborators on this, or is it possible you were plagerized (consciously or subconsciously.)
Sorry for the previous illiterate typing, I tend to use all 10 thumbs while typing! LOL
Well, since I got my initial inspiration for the floating islands from rock music album covers in the 1970′s, I guess I really shouldn’t complain. Actually, I loved ‘Avatar’, think it is a major cinematic achievement by Cameron and would actually be flattered if he found any kernel of inspiration from my work as part of that amazing experience. Thanks, however, for watching my back!
I wish! Since I got my inspiration for those floating lands from rock album covers in the 1970′s, I really have no right to complain. I found ‘Avatar’ a cinematic triumph on many levels, am a huge fan of the movie and with James Cameron only the best with his brilliant creation. If I have somehow even the smallest kernel of of inspiration to that amazing film, then I would be flattered indeed … but thanks for watching my back!
I see you’ve discovered my own writing secret!
It is amazing, when I put on my gloves, they look like fingers, when I type they magically transform into thumbs… big mushroom-like thumbs! LOL
FYI: I really enjoyed browsing your faith and family pages. It never ceases to amaze me how many questions can be answered with 13 simple statements. I hope your financial situation improves enough so that your ENTIRE family can afford to get new SHOES!
Great photo!
Have a great day,
Jay
Regarding the DeathGate Cycle, I am one who normally dreams in color. (Day dream or sleeping) The way in which you and Ms Weiss worded the books of the DGC made it very easy for me to close my eyes and place myself in the bowels of the machinery underground, or in the flying ships, the Labyrinth or even in the top of the trees. I had no problem geting into each book and staying lost in the worlds you two created.
11/26/55 was a good day to be born
So I led a trip to GenCon 2009 with a bunch of my college buddies. Now every time I hear Lady Gaga’s ‘Poker Face’ it takes me right back – because it reminds me of ‘Raistlin Mage,’ that wonderful parody from Killer Breakfast. Any chance that will ever find its way onto the internet?
Now that’s a good question! I didn’t make any videos of it other than the presentation video at the convention. Maybe I can do something for you with that!
Hi Mr. Hickman.
I love your Dragonlance books, especially those with Margaret Weis. I am writing my first book called the Ataxian Chronicles: Sheol’s phylactery.
I grew up with Dungeons and Dragons and love the characterizations. So I have three questions: When will the Dragonlance Chronicles Omnibus be available? Where is GenCon 2010 this year, if you know. And since you’ve played dungeons and dragons longer than me, how would a lich move in your opinion? I have liches in my book and I’m curious.
Thanks,
Saw an interesting article in the latest Popular Science about reprograming the immune system. The example is going after type 1 diabetes. Not quite Vcids.
For everyone else, find a copy of Mr Hickmans ‘The Immortals’
I’ve been trying to find an answer to a JRR Tolkien question. I would guess you are more than familiar with his works
I am a big fan of the Fantasy Fiction and Midieval works. I’m working on starting the process over with Tolkien.
I’ve seen the Ring movies, but never read the books. A few co-workes assure me that I MUST read the books to get the true story.
I just acquired copies of the Hobbit and The Silmarillion. I know the Hobbit provides the story of Bilbo, and I discovered the Silmarillion was published by Tolkien’s son, but it provides the history of the elves in the Rings books. So here’s the non-Hickman question, which would you recommend reading 1st, The Hobbit or The Silmarillion as I prepare to delve into the the three books of the Ring?
(I’m still working on your works.)
Thanks,
Jay
Where can i get an address for you because in school we need an address for a project we are doing? And I love your books that you wrote. Tasslehoff Burrfoot is my favorite character!! Plz answer me soon as in like the next three days!! please!!

We would like to see the “elder” with us.
hi.
i´m from germany, a huge fan of the death gate cycle.
is there any chance that someone may write a prequel of dgc?
something like “XAR-the origins”?
if nobody wants to – i would do it.
i´ve read the DGC now for the 4. time – anytime a pleasure..
I’ll do my best with your questions, Francine;
(1) You would need to ask Wizards of the Coast about any Dragonlance Chronicles Omnibus as they hold the copyrights; (2) Gencon 2010 will be held in August in Indianapolis, Indiana — where I hope to meet all my friends and (3) I don’t know … slowly?
Thanks!
I am so sorry that I didn’t find this sooner! I’ve been dealing with medical problems for the last few weeks. Do you still need help?
May could be very short notice for my schedule but I would love to be able to come to Turkey and appear at a convention there!
We actually have been discussing doing something new in the Deathgate universe — which includes new fiction. I hope to be able to report on that soon.
hello.
something new in the DG cycle.
.
thats good news and thank you for this.
at this time, good books are getting rare about all this vampire and werewolf-fiction.
if there is any possibility to create a new PC-game (the old one is simply too….) please push that

aloha, sorry i missed you at borderlands (had to work. i’m a unit manager at a small pysch hosp so i couldn’t refuse really). am interested in your scribes forge. i’ve written two epic fantasy novels and have generally gotten positive and at least no negative notices from the few editors left in the field yet it turns out i did something never been done in fantasy; sexual content and language but it can’t hurt to pick your minds. peter
Dear Tracy Hickmann, I have red your Requiem of stars. It´s top of all science fiction. You MUST write the next volume. Please do it. Sicerely Milan

Hi Tracy,
