Digital Jesters has issued a press release that a book based on Beyond Divinity is in the works. Here's a partial bit of the release:
Bold new publisher Digital Jesters continues its plans to dominate the PC sector with its forthcoming release of fantasy RPG Beyond Divinity, which will exclusively feature a specially written 50-page plus novella by prestigious and respected writer Rhianna Pratchett. The novella, Child of the Chaos, weaves a masterful tale set in the original fantasy realm of the Divinity Universe, exploring magic and riftrunning between worlds, and capturing the imagination and essence of the game in its skilfully drafted pages and illustrations.
In keeping with the theme of the game's interface, the book will be released in foldable road map format rather than the standard bound pages most books have.
Thanks, Stephanie!

I notice they fail to mention anything this prestigious and respected author has written.
Who is she, and what has she done?

What part of "prestigious and respected writer" you don't get?  According to Google, she works(ed) at/for UK's PC Game Zone magazine, Guardian, and did a few articles for some other mags. She liked Matrix 3, wrote dialogues for Beyond Divinity, [url=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/previews/previews_story.php(que)id=88755&domain=pn2]reviewed[/url] Gothic II, etc

Oh, for some reason I thought she might be a published writer of novels.
But, now I understand why I haven't heard of her before.

Now if they could only find someway to make Rhianna look like Terry upon first glance.........

It could be Rhianna Brooks, which would just be awful.
