Last update before Chaos Unleashed <\/a>comes out!<\/p>\n We’re getting close now – the final book of my Chaos Born<\/a> trilogy is only days away from hitting the shelves! The official release date is October 13, but you can pre-order <\/a>it now!<\/p>\n I know it’s been a long wait for fans of the series; the first book came out more than 2 years ago. But it’s been even longer for me – I’ve been working on the Chaos Born off and on for almost a decade. It’s been a long road to get here, and I can’t wait for readers to experience the thrilling conclusion.<\/p>\n If you’re a fan of my writing, you know I like to set things up and pay them off down the road, and you’ll see a lot of that in the final book. All the story lines come together in fun and sometimes unexpected ways, but I don’t want to say too much because of spoilers. I can promise an epic final battle, sworn enemies going head-to-head, new enemies, new allies, pirates… yes, pirates!<\/p>\n Okay, maybe I’ve already said to much. Let me just add this: Chaos Unleashed turned out to be everything I was hoping for, and I know fans are going to LOVE it! Each book on its own tells a solid story, but together the trilogy is much more than the sum of its parts. And if you’ve been waiting for the Chaos Born<\/a> series to be finished before jumping in (hey, I do that, too!) now’s the perfect time!<\/p>\n But that’s not the only thing going on right now. I’ve also got a reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) happening on Thursday, October 8 over at r\/fantasy<\/a>. I did one of these a few years ago on one of the Star Wars sub-reddits, and it was a blast: check out my SW AMA here<\/a>!<\/p>\n I’m also running a small contest along with the AMA – anyone who asks a question that I actually answer will have a chance to win a “Drew Karpyshyn Prize Pack” – signed copies of numerous books from across my career. Details of my AMA will go up in a post late Wednesday night, and I’ll be answering questions starting early Thursday evening (Texas time). And, just to get you in the Q&A mood, here’s an interview I recently did with Mary Fan on her blog Zigzag Timeline<\/a>.<\/p>\n As for other news, you may remember from my last update that I’m back at BioWare, working on Star Wars: The Old Republic. A lot of folks are asking if I’m involved in the next content update, Knights of the Fallen Empire<\/a>. Short answer: no. I just got there, so it’s going to be a while before anything I’m working on actually goes public. But KotFE is looking pretty sweet – if you haven’t seen it yet, check out the awesome Blur trailer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
