Not a question, just a statement - It is killing me that I have an ecopy of the book, a hard copy of the book, and I'm waiting for the audiobook version to become available! Can you sync that up next time? I stumbled on your work through "The Jester", and I've listened before reading each of the series since. Killing me!

Hey there, sorry for the late reply. I'm assuming this was related to the recent Age of Legend release? This (and all my books) DO have the release dates synced. For instance, ALL FORMATS of Age of Legend came out through the retail chain on the same date (July 9th).
A book's release date is set 6 - 12 months before the release so that pre-order pages can go live. It also dictates things like recording schedules, and print runs (which have to be booked a long time in advance).
All that said, I know people want the stories just as quickly as they can get them. If you got the ebook before the release date, then you bought it directly from my online store, or you participated in the Kickstarter. Getting the book when it is finished (as opposed to the release date) is one of the perks to being a Kickstarter backer, so while I can appreciate that it "feels" like you had to wait for the audiobook, the reality is you got the other formats before they were available to the world at large!
I'm glad to hear "The Jester" got you hooked on the listens. We'll do our best to keep them coming out just as quickly as we can!

Hi there, Not so much of a question, just yet another request that you PLEASE continue writing the adventures of Royce and Hadrian. Out of all of the books I've ever read, this is, quite honestly, one of my very favorite book series. I read the Chronicles and the Revelations all within a month and I literally missed the characters when I was finished (so much so that I've started all over again :)?

Michael J. Sullivan:
if i buy a hardback / paperback copy of a book, is there a reason i can not get a copy of the digital version? presumably most authors send digital copies to the publisher and so not much effort goes into 'kindleising' it. i would have bought the hardback of AOS (amazing and reviewed) if this was the case money was lost. so i am not sure why this doesnt happen, afaik the paperback costs more than the kindle
