Is there a Dragon Prince MUSH/MUDD?
What books have Melanie Rawn written?
Melanie has written quite a few books, the titles and covers of which
can be seen on her published books list.
When is the next EXILES book due to be released?
If you're looking for THE CAPTAL'S TOWER good luck in finding it.
Melanie's had a few complications (including shoulder surgery) that have kept
her from even starting it. She's currently working on THE DIVINER, the
prequel to THE GOLDEN KEY.
THE MAGEBORN TRAITOR, part 2 in Melanie's EXILES trilogy, is out now!
It's been found in a variety of places, including Border's, Barnes &
Noble, and Amazon.com. If you can't find it locally, you can order
it through our online bookstore.
Will Melanie ever write any more Dragon Prince/Star books?
From a conversation held with Melanie in early 1995, on her Ruins of
Ambrai signing tour, Melanie stated that she would be interested in
writing a prequel to the Dragon Prince books, about Lady Merisel
and the original struggle of the faradhi versus the diarmadhi, but wasn't
thinking about what she would be doing in the future. "You never know
what might happen, though," she said. But considering that she is now
signed to a major publisher, AVON, the only circumstances that she would
be able to write more of her books, that she wrote under DAW, would be if
her popularity increased phenomenally and DAW released their rights to the
series.
She was asked about this again, at a recent signing at Third Planet books
in Torrance, CA, by a very dedicated fan of the sunrunner books. "If I
did do it, it would probably happen in the next millennium." The fan also
asked about Meig, commenting on his 'specialness.' "You bet Meig's
special. He's got a few things buggin' him. But we won't address that
issue for a while.. I've got an island to blow up [editor's note: refering
to Keftiu]."
There's been rumor of Melanie doing a 'compilation' novel, is that
true?
Yes, actually. She has written a book, collaborating with female
fantasy writers Jennifer Roberson
and Kate Elliott. The book they wrote is
called The Golden Key about
magician painters. It's published by DAW, with cover art done by Michael Whelan.
They have been dubbed as the "Dream Team of Fantasy."
I've looked everywhere for The Golden Key, but I can't find
it!
Make sure to check under all of the last names in the hardback fiction
sections of bookstores. It's been noticed that Brentano's and B. Dalton
are not carrying the books yet, though Barnes & Noble, and Bookstar, are
stocked. Look around, it's there.
Is there a Melanie Rawn Web page?
What happened to Sunrunner's Circle?
Sunrunner's Circle, a snail mail fan club for Melanie, is now defunct.
Dawn Walker, the woman who ran it, was having a hard time with
work/school/etc. and didn't feel she could run it to the best of her
ability anymore.
Is there a new Fan Club?
Yes! There is and it's called Pandemonium. The new fan club, now
officially sponsored by both Melanie and DAW has been formed, coming at
you full force with a seasonal newsletter, web page, and email mailing list!

Is Melanie involved as she was with Sunrunner's Circle?
Melanie has been actively participating in Pandemonium. Not only
is she helping out, but we've got the support of her publishers, DAW
Books, behind us! So we look forward to a bigger and better fan club than
Sunrunner's Circle was!
Is there a Melanie Rawn newsgroup?
Is there a Dragon Prince MUSH/MUDD?
Due to problems of copyright and violations thereof, there will never
be a Dragon Prince MUSH/MUDD. Melanie has stated very clearly that though
she supports creativity in everyway, she believes that creativity should
be from the individual, and not from her. Her writings are her
livelyhood, the way she pays the bills, and it would be unfair of us, as
her fans, to take that from her.
For those of you who don't know what a MUSH or a MUDD is, it's an online
roleplaying game, that is programmed into a certain scenario. There used
to be a Melanie Rawn MUSH, but it has since closed down for the above
reasons.
Color prints of Michael Whelan paintings are available.
