Book Review: ‘The Wyvern’s Spur’ by Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb
April 23, 2013 at 12:05 am | Posted in Books, Fantasy, Reviews | Leave a commentTags: forgotten realms, jeff grubb, kate novak, the finder's stone trilogy, the wyvern's spur
It’s interesting how many Star Wars authors have come over from the Realms: Elaine Cunningham, Troy Denning, Paul S. Kemp, Drew Karpyshyn, R.A. Salvatore, Christie Golden. Jeff Grubb is also no exception. Before writing Scourge, he wrote several Forgotten Realms novels with his wife, Kate Novak. The first one was Azure Bonds, a fun fantasy story and part of The Finder’s Stone Trilogy.
The Wyvern’s Spur is the second book in that trilogy, but surprisingly, it has little to do with the previous book and is a great standalone story in itself. Even more surprisingly, it’s a superior book to the first. If you’re looking for a great fantasy story to escape in, this one is well worth checking out. Click here to read our full review.

Star Wars Insider #133 ‘Hunting the Gorach’
May 7, 2012 at 7:37 am | Posted in Star Wars Insider, Star Wars News | Leave a commentTags: hutts, jeff grubb, joe corroney

In case you missed it, Star Wars Insider #133 is out and it features new fiction by Scourge author Jeff Grubb. The short story is entitled Hunting the Gorach and follows the Hutt Parella the Hunter.
“The stories of the Gorach said they did not age, and met their end only by violence. I think it is a single beast you have been reporting for centuries. I will bring him to heel, and place his stuffed and preserved form in my hall. He will be a piece of art for my fellow Hutts to admire as I regale them with the tale of the hunt.”
While the story is short, it has a neat ending. Plus there are some nice illustrations by Joe Corroney. It’s worth checking out.

FANgirl Interview with Jeff Grubb

FANgirl Blog posted an interview with Scourge author Jeff Grubb. It covers Mander, Reena, Angela, and of course, Hutts.
I found the Hutt characters in Scourge to be interesting individuals, while retaining a sense of “Huttness.” Are you particularly fond of Hutts? Do you have a favorite Hutt?
Jeff Grubb: I am a fan of Hutts (and most of the alien species of Star Wars). I wanted to remain true to the “brand” of Hutts, but also show variety among them, and to show Hutts struggling against their own legend (Mika, for example). Of the Hutts in the book, I would say I like Parella the best – if only because he seeks out new experiences, but never really learns from them.

Star Wars: Scourge hits stores today. We interviewed Jeff back in September last year without really knowing what to expect in the novel. So after reading and enjoying Scourge, we decided to get back in touch with Jeff to ask a few more questions. The interview covers how he ended up being his own source material at times, insight into Mander and Eddey’s characters, how the Pantorans came into play, and much more. There are some mild spoilers, so tread carefully. Continue Reading Roqoo Depot Interview with Jeff Grubb…
