Hi Michael I know you are probably fed up of answering this, however, I just had my third read through of Riyria Revalations, I know, I’m a lightweight.... have a word with your Wife because you MOST certainly need to continue this Series, so much more to write about and new things to reveal, it’s Xmas so let’s please have a lot more of Hadrian, Arista and Royce...?

You aren't the only one wanting more stories after the events of Revelations. We'll see. Right now there are some things in the past I want to get done with.
- Legends of the First Empire has six books and only 2 are released at this time, Age of War will come out in April, and we are working hard to have the last three books released in quick succession.
- I'm working on a new series (no title yet) that occurs between Legends and Riyria. Among other things it gives the backgrounds of Esrahaddon, Jerish and Nevrik
- I just released a 4th Chronicle (The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter will be in the retail chain in June - but people can buy copies now from audible or directly from me for the ebook and print editions.
When I'm done with what I'm writing now, we'll see about going further down the timeline. The question, of course, is just HOW FAR should it be. A few years? A generation? Multiple generations? I could tell good tales for all of the above.

Hi Michael, I write stories with a friend of mine. We haven't fleshed out the stories into full books but we've made a number stories over the last 3-4 years. Recently, we came to the end of the world we created and I was surprised at how satisfying and painful it was in equal measure to let our characters rest. Have you ever felt something like that?

This question might be a more personal choice between authors but I know that is Stephen King's books about writing, he says adverbs "pave the road to hell" and in a few of my creative writing classes that adverbs are weak writing. I was wondering if you find this to be a steadfast rule across all writing or if its case by case, or in modern writing does it matter less the use of adverbs? Thanks for your answer!
