2007 Not-So-Fun Fact: My father died while I was writing Storm Dragon (in 2006). My eldest brother and I were on our way from the airport when he passed. We missed him by maybe an hour. pic.twitter.com/MQjKIpPPEG

2007 Fun Fact: Going back through Storm Dragon to find those quotes made me want to read the trilogy again. Maybe there’s something to this whole writer thing . . .

2007 Fun Fact: The character of Rienne in Storm Dragon was inspired 100% by this miniature, Earth Shugenja from the Underdark expansion. She’s a swordsage, using the rules in Book of Nine Swords. pic.twitter.com/aIQ5EH0Psv

2007 Fun Fact: Gaven d’Lyrandar, the hero of the story (ha I typed storm), is a duskblade, from the 3e Player’s Handbook 2. It’s pretty funny to me how these characters took root in the late-3e milieu and somehow had to continue in two more books released in early 4e days.

2007 Fun Fact: I remember getting to chapter 27 and trying to decide what to do with pronouns once Aunn adopted a female identity. Had I been writing the character today, I would not have taken so long to settle on just changing pronouns. pic.twitter.com/lmQyuVnj5K
