Selon Elbakin, le prochain roman de Goodkind, The Hinges of Hell serait non pas de la fantasy, mais "un thriller contemporain dont l’action se déroule au sein d’une ville américaine".

Et sur ses changements d'éditeurs, l'auteur explique plein de trucs dans un message sur le forum de son site.



"As an author, it’s an energizing experience to have the chance to meet new challenges. It’s also tremendously exciting. My new publisher, who has read a large portion of the beginnings of the next books, is not just wildly enthusiastic about the books themselves, but how they will thrill all of you, my present readers, and bring in a new audience who have never before been exposed to my work.
I have made many friends through my stories. I find my readers for the most part to be intelligent, compassionate, involved, understanding people who are grateful to find stories that share their values. I only wish that I could get to know each and every one of you as well as I have come to know many of you. I hope that through the stories I’ve written you’ve come to know how much I care about life and about all of you. I hope too that you know that I never take my readers for granted and that I always do the best I can to live up to your high standards. It’s always hard work, but it’s also always a joy to do that work. Thank you for coming along with me on this journey."
