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?

Hey William, thanks for asking. So, I've never read any of those other works so I'm not sure what those other franchises have done along those lines. I have done some "behind the scenes" stuff in The Death of Dulgath, and I'm going to be doing a bit of a write up for the ending of the series. But what if anything comes after that, I'm not sure at this point. Right now I'm focused on keeping the "stories" coming (I've finished two books in the next series), and I have the third book and Drumindor to write before I can think about any other "non-committed" projects. But thanks for bringing them up. I'll check them out and maybe that will be something for the future.

Hi Michael, first off I just want to say I LOVED The Riyria Revelations!!!! They were fast paced, full of good laughs! So I just got the Riyria Chronicles but I'm not sure if I have them all, I know some of your books are combined? Volume One of the Riyria Chronicles The Crown Tower. 368 pgs. And Volume Two of the Riyria Chronicles The Rose and the Thorn. 347 pages. Thank you for your time!

Hello Michael, the Riyria Chronicles are a blast, exactly what we needed to fill the void left in our hearts after finishing the Revelations. The latest book in the series, The Disappearance of Winter’s Daughter, was amazing and fun. Can you give us an update on the next book in the series – Drumindor? Can’t wait to read more! Thank you so much and cheers from the middle of Europe.

Hello! I just finished The Death of Dulgath (FANTASTIC book, btw! Possibly my favorite so far!) and I have a question regarding nationalities. I think it’s awesome that your world of Elan is so diverse in its human population, so I wanted to know with all the different nationalities, were there any real-world races or ethnicities you drew reference from when describing the people of different nationalities in Elan?
