The Sundering (aka WHERE DID AUGUST GO?)
By Erin M. Evans
Dear Readers, You may have heard about this Sundering thing. You may have read Brimstone Angelsand want to know what’s next for Farideh and company. You may have seen the YouTube videos, and stumbled on this blog trying to figure out who the heck that chick with the pink hair is. You may have read about it on the blogs of more conscientious authors than I. You may have come here because you’re my grandmother and you want to know why I’m not calling you more. But mostly the Sundering thing.
Talk about this article here.
But if someone does want to talk about it but not deal with Wordpress, I will answer questions here.
Before anyone asks, I should mention, my grandmother hasn't said all of those things: she has not asked about more great-grandchildren. (She has pointed out I took waaaaay too long with the first one though, so I don't think it's a stretch).
While scouring the ethereal border of the internet i stumbled upon your article and since it treated about The Sundering and your future novel, i thought i could share it with our Realms Community here as i thought it was as funny as informative
Thanks
What about [character I hate]?
No one hates any of my characters.
Now that's a great answer.
*Sigh* I typed up a nice thorough reply...and then my son snuck up and attacked the keyboard, somehow reloading the page. Let's see if I can reproduce it while he naps.
@Plaguescarred: Thanks for posting it. I was coming by to see if there was someplace I could reasonably link from...and lo and behold the post had beaten me here!
@SmartPaladin: I am! My facebook page is www.facebook.com/brimstoneangels or you can follow me on Twitter. I'm @ErinMEvans.
@Imruphel: It's a lie. No one likes Cassian from The God Catcher. To be fair, he is the embodiment of a commentary I was trying to make on one-dimensional female characters as love interests/flimsy hero support, so you should probably not like him. Also he's kind of a prat.
@DoctorNecrotic: Glad you liked it!
@LordManshoon: And I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Though I have a complaint for you, missy! Nevermind that it's most likely not your fault in anyway, shape, or form. The complaint however, is simple. Lesser Evils, a novel I am thoroughly looking forward to, doesn't come out until December 3rd. Do you have any idea how evil that is? I'm already hard enough to shop for anyway. And now there's a novel coming out that I REALLY want, and I have to make the Will check not to just say screw it and buy the thing out right!
So...if anyone's trying to figure out a Secret Santa gift come December, might I suggest a Brimstone Angels/Lesser Evils bundle? ;)

I haven't read that yet but I hear good things about it. Hopefully I will get to read it on my next batch of plane trips.
Oh, and if I don't like him I will say nothing.
So, count me in as one of those eagerly waiting for the next chapter in the saga. Mehen needs more screen time, too. He rocks.
Greetings from Nicaragua! I loved what Brimstone Angels did for Neverwinter, fleshing out story, everyday events and the underground struggle for certain factions, as well as the window into the devils' home. My wife loves tieflings -she is a tiefling warlock herself- and is itching to have a Spanish translation for Angels, since she is kind of lazy with English.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I have no idea what the situation is with regards to translations, but I would love it if BRimstone Angels got picked up for a Spanish translation.
I agree--I am pretty excited about getting to tell Mehen's story eventually. I'll warn you in advance, that's not Lesser Evils. But I'll get there! It's too good to leave aside.
No questions about the Sundering as such just comments. I only recenly finished reading Brimstone Angels, and before I was even halfway through it I was on Amazon seeing what other books you had and promptly bought the God Catcher and lo' and behold Lesser Evils was there also which I have just started reading and can't wait to get into.
I was reading something on ESDB's site about how they are going to be bringing in more ethnic/gender/sexuality diverse characters is a really cool thing. Faradeih's character I fell in love with completely and I'm over the moon she's going to be included in The Sundering.
However, I am waiting for a good strong gay/lesbian character to be introduced. Speaking as a gay man who loves Forgotten Realms (and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one) it really needs it, to be dragged into modern times.
Anyhoo, that's it can't wait for your next work.
