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.

Hi Michael. Excited for the 6th Book in the First Empire Series to come out soon. I wanted to ask, with the Empire series wrapping up would you ever write a History of Elan/Atlas like "The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern" or "The Compleat Discworld Atlas" to share some of your notes/world-building for the world of Elan?
