Paul Wandless asked Michael R. Miller:

Just finished your short story in the Lost Lore anthology and really enjoyed it. I'll definitely read the Dragon's Blade series. Too bad Elsie is just in this story. She's a great character. I'd love to have seen how things played out once she & Balliol started serving the king. I'd like to think they eventually made Lord Heath suffer the consequences of his actions. Any chance there is a follow up short story?

Michael R. Miller Hi Paul - sorry it took me so long to reply.

I have no plans right now to continue Elsie's story. I saw it as a nice prequel to the main series and a way of setting up both the world and tone. I will never say never and perhaps one day I will expand it but given everything I've got to do it seems unlikely.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story though and you should see a few references to her in the main series :)

Best,
Michael
