Have you ever considered co-authoring a book? I think that your writing style would mesh in a wonderful way with Brandon Sanderson. I understand that it could be a huge challenge, but it's been really successful (in my opinion) in the past. Just a wild thought. :)

Hey Dave, This is something my wife (the business genius) keeps saying I should do. It'd be a good way to cross-pollinate my readers and another author's readers, a win-win for all.
The problem...I don't play well with others, especially when it comes to writing. I'm very particular and would constantly be editing areas of the book written by "the other guy/gal," and that would be frustrating for both of us. Quite frankly it would be a nightmare.
That said, for aspiring authors out there, I highly recommend the practice for the same reasons Robin want's me to do it. If you can play well with others it could mean a great opportunity.
Thanks for asking Dave.

Hi Michael: Loved all 6 Riyria books and am excited about First Empire series. You said you complete the entire series before publishing the first one. My preference is to read a series after all the books has been released, so are the release dates really one every June through 2020? I take it there is an advantage to staggered release dates, but I would buy all 5 now. Thanks, Jimmy

Hello Michael! I am the author of a debut novel and I wanted to let you know how much you have inspired me. I have completed many of your audiobooks, which Mr. Reynolds narrates, and have loved them. My children enjoy them as well. I told my wife that I aspire to be an author like you someday! Thank you for all the many hours of delightful stories! How did you go about hiring a professional narrator?
