Hi Michael! So far I've read the first half of Legends of the First Empire, and your short story from Unfettered (such a great short). I have a question about Gifford, the character with the speech impediment. Did you write him imagining him speaking like Isaac Arthur, or more like Jonathon Ross?
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Anna, I'm so glad you are enjoying the tales. So, this is where I get to look "unworldly." I'm not familiar with either Isaac or Jonathon. The way I hear him in my head is EXACTLY the way he talks in the narration done by Tim Gerard Reynolds. We (Robin and I) were in the studio as he was recording and we were on pins and needles to see how Tim imagined him. He totally nailed it. We applauded at the first pause after Gifford spoke.

HI! Just a quick question. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate with The Cycle and After the Fall.... and now Riyria Chronicles 6. At one point, if I recall, you had mentioned that you had a total of 8 Riyria Chronicles lined up (I think you said that each slipcase would be for 4 books). In light of all the exciting new projects, have plans for Chronicles changed, or is it still eight total?

Have you ever considered co-authoring a book? I think that your writing style would mesh in a wonderful way with Brandon Sanderson. I understand that it could be a huge challenge, but it's been really successful (in my opinion) in the past. Just a wild thought. :)
