I was actually more in the vein of Salvatore/Athans, but was going to ape Glen's/Croakers' style when it came to the siege warfare. Individual combat is more my specialty (I'm a martial artist of many years) I already contacted his Editor, and apparently it is in his contract that he isn't even interested in other plot lines as it pertains to the Black Company series. I have the outlines and all that, but he isn't interested. (It's because I'm a new writer/unpublished) I loved the campaign setting, (even though it's epic level), it actually inspired me to want to write the back stories of the Daughters' Senjak, Dominator and White Rose.

Since he hasn't in the past (excepting the Black Company Campaign Setting Role Playing Game, which was a one-time license), I would not hold out a lot of hope. One thing I would recommend is to *NOT* contacting him directly on one of his bookselling trips. For my own curiousity, were you looking at using the David Drake/David Weber/Eric Flint method? These authors often provide an outline for a novel, then allow another author to write it. Some collaboration occurs; how much varies by author and source material.

I have several pages of ideas, holes and back story for The Daughters Senjak, The Dominator and White Rose. I also have ideas for the story of the Deceivers and Rheydreynak, as well as the stories of the Shadowmasters in the Land of Unknown Shadows. I am DEEPLY interested in pitching these ideas to Glen, but have had NO luck getting a hold of him, his editor OR his publisher. On the other hand, I have had success in finding Raymond Swanland, who I will commission to do the Cover Art for the books. If anyone has ANY information on how to get a hold of Glen Cook, Please email me at: HoradimLLC@yahoo.com _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans
