Below is a list of all the books that I've authored or to which I've contributed stories.  These include my work in the Forgotten Realms, in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and my non-tie-in work.
 
All of these links lead to Amazon.com, where you can read reviews and/or purchase the books.  

The Chronicles of Erevis Cale
The stories of Erevis Cale begin with the Sembia Series, specifically the Halls of Stormweather and Shadow's Witness (and if you're not a stickler for reading in chronological order, either Twilight Falling or Shadowbred, both described below, are good entry points to the Cale tales, too).

After Shadow's Witness, the Erevis Cale stories continue with The Erevis Cale Trilogy.  The three books of The Erevis Cale Trilogy are available individually, or (in June 2010) in a collected omnibus edition (that also includes two previously published short stories featuring Cale).

After The Erevis Cale Trilogy, the story of Cale and his companions continues with the three books of The Twilight War (and the tie-in anthology, Realms of War). 


The Star Wars Expanded Universe

I have had the privilege to contribute to the Star Wars expanded universe with Crosscurrent, a standalone novel featuring the Jedi, Jaden Korr.  I will also be writing a sequel to Crosscurrent (still untitled).

 

Other Stories

 In addition to my Forgotten Realms and Star Wars work, I have begun to expand my writing into other areas that interest me. I have a fantastical horror/suspense story in the anthology Horrors Beyond II, from Elder Signs Press (along with a lot of other great authors) and a short story, "The Spinner," in Sails and Sorcery, Tales of Nautical Fantasy. In addition, my short story, "Confession," which originally appeared in Dragon magazine #356, will be reprinted in Worlds of Their Own, from Paizo Press. My Mythos-inspired story, One Thousand and One Words, appears in Eldritch Horrors: Dark Tales.  Links are below:
 
 
I have also written a handful of short stories that appeared in Dragon magazine. They are as follows:Another Name for Dawn, which appeared in Dragon issue #277, and tells the story of Erevis Cale's flight from Westgate.All the Sinners Saints, which appeared in Dragon issue #297, and is available for free on this website here. Cause and Effect, which appeared in Dragon #301, and features a half-orc bent on vengeance in the ruins of Inner Phlan. Confession (mentioned above, as it will reprinted in Worlds of Their Own from Paizo Press), which appeared in Dragon 356, is not set in the Forgotten Realms but in my own setting of New Dineen. It is a story of possession and absolution. All of the foregoing issues should be available on backorder through Paizo Publishing.

R.A. Salvatore's War of the Spider Queen

The War of the Spider Queen is a six book series of novels set in The Forgotten Realms and featuring the fascinating race of underground dwelling elves called 'the drow.'  I was fortunate enough to be selected to write the sixth and final book of this N.Y. Times Bestselling series.

The War of the Spider Queen is also available in two boxed gift sets of three books each (all paperback).

Forgotten Realms Anthologies

My story in Realms of Shadow is entitled Too Long in the Dark and is a tragi-comedy featuring a quasit familiar named Pleeancis the Mighty.

My story in Realms of the Dragons is entitled Soulbound.  It stands alone just fine, but ties in indirectly to the Erevis Cale stories.
