Hello michael, I am a new fan of yours and greetings from Chile. I read your 2 books that are in Spanish (The Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha) and I loved them, the problem is that nothing has been translated into Spanish since 2012. The question is if you know if the publisher will translate it at some time ?. I would love to finish Revelations and start Chronicles and The Legends of the First Empire. Cheers

Hey Gonzalo, I'm so glad you have enjoyed the books so far. When it comes to foreign translations, I've accepted every deal that comes my way. And there has been a lot of them -- probably more than 100 to date. I've not kept track of which books are translated to what languages so I'm not 100% sure if the publisher who picked up that version did so for just a few books, or the whole series. Sometimes, they don't acquire more books until the see how the sales are going on initial releases. Other times, it's just a matter of the translation taking some time. The best thing to do, is to send an inquiry to the publisher. If they are planning more, they'll let you know. If they haven't, well, correspondence from readers might help to sway their opinion and get other books produced. Here's hoping!! Otherwise, I'm afraid you have to resort to the English language version. It seems as your bilingual. I know you may prefer the Spanish version, but as I said, it's not me that is holding up the translated version.

Hi, Michael. I had a short backstory to this question but it would not fit, so I'll cut to the chase. What is your opinion on a business model like Kickstarter which focuses entirely on publishing? It is an idea I have nurtured for some years now and would very much like to already exist for me to browse.

I saw where you said you used Scrivener. I've been thinking about buying it for a while now but I've been hesitant because I don't really know anybody with experience using it. What do you like about the program and what are its drawbacks? Are there any kinds of writers you think it's best suited for or is it fairly well a cover-all recommendation?
