Just finished Age of Myth this past weekend and really enjoyed it. While I'm looking forward to the next book, I do wonder if you've considered a book the delves further back into the history of the elves?

Hey, thanks for reading...and for stopping by to ask a question. It's funny, overtime I write a book, my wife wants to know the "full story" about events I mention in it. When I wrote Riyria Revelations, she wanted to know how Royce and Hadrian first met...and hence The Riyria Chronicles were born. After reading Heir of Novron, she wanted to know the details about how he built the first Empire, and hence Legends of the First Empire came into being. When reading Age of Myth, she asked me about books that play out the Belgreig War where Fenelyus fought with the Dhergs.
I'm wrapping up the edits on book #6 (yes the series grew from 5 to six during my editing), and when I'm done with that, I need to spend the next few months figuring out what I'll start next. I have 12 - 15 books vying for my attention, and that idea wasn't even one of them. Maybe I should add that as well...sigh. So many books so little time. But thats a better problem to have than the other way around.
Thanks for mentioning it. When I hear an idea that several people want to see it makes it much more likely it'll be written someday. I think it could be a really good story, and who doesn't like a really good story?

Hi Michael, Thanks for adding me as a friend. I've never had an author do that; pretty cool. I am enjoying Theft Of Swords. I plan to carry this trilogy in my bookstore. I'm opening a coffee house bookstore in April, here in my hometown. If you are ever in Chapin, SC, which is near Columbia, would you consider showing up for an author signing? Long shot I know, but can't hurt to ask. :)

Dear Michael, my friends Mara Brewer and Roman S!delnik are the beginning writers. They have written a couple of books like "Softman" and others http://distribbooks.com/en/catalog.Their genres are fantasy, adventures, detectives. They are your fans and so am I. Could you write a review of "Softman" or advice somebody who could do this. Grateful in advance. Sincerely your, Isabella

Hey! I'm an Audible listener (reader) and was so glad to see the map for the Riyria Series on your website. When I tried enlarging the map it becomes pixilated and hard to read. I just finished the rose and the Thorn and would have liked a map for the town. Your words paint a lovely image, but maps for Tolkien and Game of Thrones only enhance the experience. More maps?
