Here you will find the latest news in the world of Raymond E. Feist. It maybe the title of the next book, a new release or even a new project, but it could also be an update on an existing project. What ever it is though, we hope to present it to you as soon as we are aware of it. If you know something we don't, that relates to Raymond E. Feist, and believe it should be here, then please contact us.

New Fantasy Site
Darragh Murray posted this note about his new website, currently in development:
Hello, I have finally put up the very-very-very-beta version of my fantasy site
it has a few authors on it, and my views on em, plus some links, but the main attraction to most of you Feistians will be the incomplete Feist glossary of characters/places/etc please note that this glossary is very timeconsuming and I have only glossified all of SoaDQ, RoaMP, and a bit of RAGe on the PAGE (even though on paper I have done more than half the REF book collection) - NOTE MAJOR CHARACTERS HAVEN'T BEEN ADDED YET as they require extra info

Congratulations!
I want to send out my congratulations and best wishes to long-time list member Richard Williamson and his wife, who gave birth to boy on Friday. May he never have his father's looks (but perhaps his wit) :)

Tear of the Gods Tease
Ray hinted at the plot of Tear today:
Anyway, a war in the east would have suited Sidi's plans far better than a war with Queg or Kesh.
But then, I'm not telling everything just yet.

Conclave and Jigsaw Lady Tidbits
One of the features on new Krondor website is a short interview with Ray. Here is what he had to say about Conclave of Shadows:
Conclave of Shadows is the next 'down the timeline' series. It's set in the Eastern Kingdoms and will be about half-way between the 'high fantasy' of the Riftwar and the 'court intrigue' of the Empire Series in tone. More I won't say, except to mention the name of the central character of the first book, a tribal youngster named Talon of the Silver Hawk.
On The Jigsaw Lady, a science-fiction novel Ray has wanted to do for a while, he said this:
Jigsaw Lady is the working title of a science fiction novel I've had in my head for darn near fifteen years. I think I'll start work on it next year (in all my spare time) but I'd like to get it finished some day.
