One of the things I’ve been frequently asked about the creation of the Star Wars: Knight Errant novel is what it was like imagining starships without the help of the many talented comics artists I’ve been privileged to work with. The answer comes in this special piece on StarWars.com: Engineering With LEGOS! I’ve talked about this process a little here before, in the piece on Knights of the Old Republic #37 …
Last weekend, I opened the digital floor to questions touching on the Star Wars: Knight Errant material that’s appeared so far as it relates to the novel, due out Jan. 25. The first batch of answers is here; and now, here’s another bunch: Darth Malachi asks: “Is Lord Bactra featured in the novel, or is he only alluded to and will be reserved for the next comic arc?” Sith Lord …

In addition to my posts here, for the next two weeks you can catch me — along with fellow Star Wars authors Troy Denning and Joe Schreiber — blogging about fiction, Star Wars, and other things at the Borders sci-fi blog, Babel Clash. Here’s the link to my first post, today. More to come… Also, tomorrow, the first issue of my new Mass Effect series with Mac Walters and Omar …
This weekend, I opened the digital floor to questions touching on the Star Wars: Knight Errant material that’s appeared so far as it relates to the novel, due out Jan. 25. (You can still ask your questions here.) Here’s the first batch — I’m skipping around, to start with: Kenyon asks: “I’m sure this has been covered other places, but does the entire book take place before Influx and Aflame …
The Star Wars: Knight Errant novel releases in ten days, and while I’m not doing a daily countdown as I did with last year’s wrap to Knights of the Old Republic, I will open the floor to questions as I did then — specifically, anything relating to what has already appeared (Knight Errant: Aflame #0-4, “Influx,” and the Atlas Supplement). So if you’ve got a burning question — something trivial …
A busy week. The novel is in-house, as you might gather; the copies came in on my birthday. Beats a poke with a sharp lightsaber! The book looks looks great; 416 pages including a 16-page color comics section (reprinting part of #1). The book can be preordered from Amazon or Things From Another World, among other places. Next up: the production notes for Star Wars: Knight Errant: Aflame #4 are …
Just two weeks from the release of the Star Wars: Knight Errant novel, we’ve got some more Sith War goodness coming at you. Star Wars: Knight Errant #4 goes on sale on Wednesday! This is the one you’ve been waiting for. Kerra Holt, dashing frenetically back and forth between Lord Odion and Lord Daiman, finally hits the end of the line. Will she find her true mission? What will be the fate of Gorlan Palladane — …
I’ve gotten a little behind on posting these updates, but there’s a lot of news online for our new Mass Effect: Evolution series. Not a sequel to Mass Effect: Redemption or the games, but rather, a prequel, providing the origin of the Illusive Man, the series launches on Jan. 19. I’m interviewed by ComicVine about the series here. Meanwile, IGN has big versions of the covers for #4, and finally, …
The novel has attained corporeal form! Del Rey posted the pic seen at left of Star Wars: Knight Errant on its Facebook page; it’s due out Jan. 25. It’s thick — something like 400 pages, I believe. Three weeks from today: the countdown is on. And while I don’t plan to give much away beforehand, here’s a little hint about the setting depicted on the cover: it’s definitely one of the planets that Vannar Treece describes …
