I loved these books. It really picked up in the second one, and I can’t wait until the next comes out. BTW when will that be? I’m eagerly waiting.
Mr. Hickman,
Just finished Bones of the Dragon and just purchased Secrets of the Dragon, and I love these works. I have been reading your novels starting with the Dragonlance:Chronicles Series, and I really rate this as an even more in-depth saga. You can really see how you and Margaret Weis have come into your own as authors and grown in your character and plot development skills since those early days (which, by the way, were successful inspirations to my avid readership of literature past and present).
I just wanted to thank you for writing, for sharing your imaginitive creativity on the medium of paper, and to encourage you to get those other novels in the series out soon! I am truly excited to continue this saga of our nordic heroes and friends!

Cursing is needed. It puts emphasis on emotions and just helps define a character.
Can’t wait for next book!!!! When is it coming out? HUGE fan!!! My husband got me hooked on all your books. But this is my favorite (even without Raistlin)!
Renae, may I suggest starting with the Deathgate Cycle. In my opinion this is the best series they have written, although you will not be disappointed by any other works.
Tracy, I have been an avid reader since the first release of the Dragonlance series. Thank you and Margaret for many years of engrossing and purely pleasurable reading.
This was my first introduction to your books, Mr. Hickman, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am going to look for your Dragonlance books and go back from there. Thanks for this opportunity to correspond with the author, which I would love to do with many of the other books I’ve read!

I am not sure if I forgot or missed something in the book, but is Torval and Skoval the same person? Because…it seems that way. Maybe I am just confused.
I think that it was the right word for Horg to use to emphasize the violence without expanding on the details in that scene with Draya.
I totally understand the collaboration issue and not having total control. I think my words may have come across harsher than I meant them to. I definitely was not trying to judge you or put you on the defensive, I was just taken by surprise early on in the book. I have always really enjoyed the books that you and Margaret Weis have written together (I think I have every Dragonlance book you two wrote). I am a huge fan and will continue to be. Thanks!
Mr. Hickman, as a fellow LDS member, I have always enjoyed your novels precisely because they had very little cursing in them. I am about a quarter of the way through “Bones of the Dragon” and have been very disappointed with how much language there has been. The sad part about this is that it is not needed to make the book enjoyable and entertaining. I hope that the next book in the series has a lot less language or this is one huge fan of yours that will not be reading it. Thanks.
And thank you, Steven for your comments. One of the realities of collaboration is that one does not have complete control over all aspects of a manuscript. While in my own books — especially of late — I strive to keep all cursing strictly limited if not completely absent from the text.
I can report that such cursing as seems to concern you is markedly diminished in the second book which is about to come out.
Beyond that, I can only assure you that anything penned exclusively by myself or myself and my wife in partnership, will most certainly live up to your standards and expectations.
