Hi Satyapraksah,
Thank you for being a super fan! No time table on Time Salvager 3 atm (busy with other projects). I have a tentative name for it but it's a sekrit until I get the green light.

There's been some early preliminary talks but nothing serious. I would love to see an RPG where players roll a character and his Quasing!

Hi Alex, I'm juggling several projects at the moment so sadly no date on the 3rd book yet. =(
Glad you're enjoying it though!

It changes constantly. It started out with Dor and Irene in the Xanth books, then moved on to Skeeve and Tanda in Robert Asprin's Myth books.
These days, I'm all Magnus & Alec all the time.

Hi Lu,
I'm sorry. There's no ETA yet for Time Siege. I write pretty fast but I also have several projects happening at the same time. Sorry about the cliffhanger (not sorry).

Hi Felix. Not as of this moment. The Tao books continue to sell well (knock on wood) so there really is no reason to do an omnibus. With The Rise of Io coming out, the series should get another boost. Also, there's some secret news on the horizon that's coming as well.
Big stuff happening.

Hi Patrick,
The Rise of Io is based in the same universe as the Tao books. That comes out October 2016. If you want to try a new series, how about Time Salvager? Or if you want books from other authors, I'll be happy to give a few recommendations.

Hi Amaia, I'm sorry but there is no Spanish translation for the Tao books at this time. Hopefully, a Spanish publisher will pick it up in the future!

Hey Matt,
No absolute favorite but several that have really influenced me: Princess Bride, 101 Dalmatian, all the Oz books, the Myth series, Wheel of Time, Old Man's War, and the Xanth books.
I know, I know. I totally cheated and just named everything.

Ah, a fellow peat drinker. I enjoy Talisker. My favorite though is Ardbeg Corryvreckan. Ardbeg Ten is my regular go-to drink.

They technically could. That's all I'm going to say. =)

Hey Alex,
There are still a lot of bad guys to beat. The Io series will take over the main plot from the Tao books. You may see some of your old favorites in the Tao books in Io.

Hi Wayne. That's kind of a tricky question. There is no official Tao 4 book planned. However, The Rise of Io is scheduled for next year.
Same universe. Ten years later. New main character. New Quasing. Old friends?
