Hi Micheal, a huge fan, read all of Riyria and currently in withdrawal. I'm sure on behalf of all readers l can safely convey the sentiment that our hearts sink when you use words like 'overstay' and 'get tired' of the pair. We can never get tired. Please never think of abandoning Riyria. You are so good with them l think you can write about them in your sleep.Hope you'd get back to them soon? Thanks.

Hey Aima,
I'm so glad you have been enjoying your adventures with Royce and Hadrian. I do enjoy hanging out with them and penning their tales. If it were up to me, I'd write all 10 of outlined Riyria Chronicle books, making a total of 16 Riyria novels. Will we get that far? We'll see. The big hold up at the moment is getting feedback from The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter, which will hit the retail chain in October. Once I start hearing from readers after that, I'll know whether it makes sense to start installment #5 (Drumindor). I'm cautiously optimistic based on the feedback I've had so far from people who are getting the 4th book either through direct purchase on my site or via Audible.com. I'll certainly add a vote for you in the "more please" camp.

A lot of writers think of writing as a job or a chore. I often wonder why they would write fiction if they thought of it as a job. There are other actual jobs that involve writing that they could take up because, in my opinion, when you write fiction, there's a lot more that goes into it than mere words. Do you think of it as a job as well? What would your opinion be on the same?

Hi, Michael! I really really love your books as they have gotten me through some very tough times and have provided a nice, healthy escape to. Anyways, I was wondering if there were any plans to bring the audiobook versions of The Rise and Fall to the dramatization format that Legends and Riyria got? I love experiencing the books with actors in addition to the sound effects and narrator. Anyways, thank you!

Hey! First of all, I want to thank you for being so active here on Goodreads. It's so awesome being able to chat with authors on here, and too few do it. Second of all, (this question has probably been asked too many times) but do you have any other books/series in the works at the moment?
