Who/What was the inspiration behind the character Suri in Age of Myth? She's insightful, innocent, and just the right amount of quirky. I was just wondering what inspirations you drew from your life to influence the character.

Hey there...you know, I really have no idea. I suspect that's not the answer you were looking for but it's all I got. I do see "some" similarities between her and Myron (a character in my Riyria Revelations books). They both have this "come what may" attitude that makes them pretty impervious to harm because they are content enough in their own lives that they have no fear of death. But Suri is more irreverent and as you mentioned "quirky."
I think at the end of the day I basically invent people I'd like to hand around with, and I think I'd have a lot of fun traipsing through the forest with Suri and Minna.
Thanks for asking.

Any possibility down the line (10 year anniversary?) of re-releasing Revelations with updated cover art? I'd love to see the artist for Legends of the First Empire update the cover-art from your original self-published editions. Those were super cool, especially The Emerald Storm and Wintertide!

I know that the Riyira Revelations were all completed before you started publishing them, and you've said that really helped you make sure the overall story arc fit well and each book built on the last. How do has it changed the writing process for you to write the Riyira Chronicles or Hollow World without being able to hold them back?
