Earlier today Ray commented on the Feistfans-l mailing list that the second and last book of the Demonwar Saga, with the current working title of Return of the Demon King (though the title is subject to change), should be turned in to the publishers before the holidays.

This was later clarified to mean Thanksgiving 2008.

In response to talk on the Feistfans-l Mailing List about the completion of the Riftwar Cycle when Magicians End is released in a few years time. Ray posted the fllowing:

I have no plans to do Midkemian books after the end of the cycle, however that doesn't mean I won't do some down the road. We've got a couple of different ideas in the hopper for what's coming after the end of the series.

Best, R.E.F.

UPDATE

From: Raymond E. Feist
Date: 23 July 2008

As I have said, we have a couple of concepts kicking around.  But I've got four more books to write before I have to decide, so I'm not  exactly in a hurry to nail it down.

Best, R.E.F.

And now for something out of the ordinary. We don't normally provide links to reviews of the books, as there are plenty out there on the web, but in this instance we have something a little different for you. 

We have been informed the Ekultura.hu a Hungarian cultural webzine have reviewed Az őrült isten dühe (Wrath of a Mad God) published by Beholder.hu. This is not your normal review, as being in Hungarian it is primarily suited to those of our readership who read Hungarian, though if your enterprising, you may be able to use a translator.

If you would like to read the review, please go their page Raymond E. Feist: Az őrült isten dühe

Many thanks go to Galgóczi Tamás for providing the link.

Not dead, just suspended. It will be gotten to once the entire Riftwar Cycle is finished. Maybe three years from now.

In response to a question on alt.books.raymond-feist about Profit and the Grey Assassin availability Ray responded with the following.

Seriously, it will be anthologized when I pull together my shorter fiction.  Exactly when that will happen isn't clear, but not that far down the road.  I will include The Messenger, The Wood Boy, Geroldos Incredible Trick, One to Go, and at least three original, never previously published stories.  The working title is Tales of the Riftwar and Other Stories.

Best, R.E.F.
