Sup Mr Sullivan. I just finished reading Theft of Swords and it was fine, not revolutionary but I think you know that but a fun read, a page-turner. But before I start with the rest I really have to know something - is the damsel in distress thing gonna remain a theme? We all have those cliches that just get under our skin and this is one of mine.

Hey Fredward,
Thanks for checking out Theft of Swords. No the damsel in distress doesn't remain a theme. In fact the women play a role in saving the men as much as the men saving the women. Arista and Thrace/Modina have long story arcs and I started them out from a deficit so that you could be along as they transition. I think you'll be really pleased with how they both grow over the course of the series. Thanks for asking!

Good day, I am wondering if you would share the story of how you got paired up with Tim Gerard Reynolds as your narrator? Is that something that was simply blind luck with what the publisher decided for you or is there some other connection there? Narrators obviously have an enormous impact on the success of a book and I don’t think you could have anyone better than him reading your work! He is fantastic!

Hi Michael :) I'm reading & listening (amazon whispersyncing) a book called Calculating God, by Robert J Sawyer. I looked up the narrator (Jonathan Davis), because he's very very good! I noticed that he also narrated your :Hollow World, on audible, which I thought was pretty neat. How does the narrator for your book get chosen? Do you choose yourself, or does your publisher? Someone else?

I really don't have a question but wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Age of Swords. The female characters were really well developed and realistically written. I was sad to have it come to an end. Very much looking forward to the next one. Will we have to wait a year for another one?
