 Not at all. I should have been clearer. The fault is entirely mine.

Just a quick note to let everyone know I'll have the first section discussion thread up later today.  In all my excitement I forgot to bring my book to work!

Looking forward to it! (still reading over the material just so it is fresh in my mind for the coming discussions)

Thank you. That certainly answers my question neatly enough. I suppose I was asking whether you had an "on going adventures of Fari, Havi, Mehen..etc" in mind while writing, even if each point along your originally planned path wasn't exactly what you ended up doing. Nice to know that they have a few more scrapes to get into yet!... even if they aren't the scrapes you are currently planning . 

There are points in the story that are sort of non-negotiable. Whatever happens in the setting that forces the story to change, some things have to happen. For example: Lorcan starts this book trapped in the Hells. This is too big of a conflict to have set aside or ignored or undone. 

Other points still have to be addressed, but the way in which they were addressed has been shifted or delayed. 

And still others can wait. For instance, I had expected to get into Mehen's backstory in this book. But there wasn't space for it in Lesser Evils. So I intended to put it in the next book--but I'll warn you, that's not what The Adversary is "about" because Mehen has bigger things to worry about. But I promise, his past will come back to haunt him eventually. 
 

I will certainly be recommending Angels to anyone likely to read it.

Here is me tooting my own horn: That group, in my experience, is larger than you expect. Obviously, if someone doesn't like to read at all...well, good luck. But I have managed to hook quite a few non-Realms readers--more than a few of whom who have gone on to read and enjoy more Realms titles--and non-fantasy readers. My mother-in-law generally reads mysteries and police procedurals and while her dream novel from me would be Tennora and Sovann the thief from The God Catcher fight sexy crime, she's genuinely hooked on Brimstone ANgels (and several other Waterdeep titles too)

<.<; You know, while i imagine M'hens backstory to be grand, maybe you dont have to do a novel but a series of short stories instead? We could always use more origin short stories!

Whoops - late to the party, but glad to be here all the same! Brimstone Angels was a particular favourite of mine and Erin did a marvellous job answering the Book Club questions and enriching the experience, so I'm looking forward to reading Lesser Evils and joining in here. I'm particularly pleased to have been able to purchase it for Kindle in the UK, and I picked up a couple more Wizards ebooks whilst I was browsing - it's great to have easy access to the ebook catalogue now.
