Hey Michael, I am a bid Audible user. Are there plans to move more of your work to Audible? Thanks, Todd

Hey Todd,
Audio books are as important to me as my print and ebooks. In fact, my latest "tally" was something like 26% print books, 29% audio books, and 45% ebooks. As such, All of my novels are on audible.com...as are the two Riyria short stories (which are free).
As to future works. I actually signed the audio rights for The First Empire before submitting it to publishers for the print/ebook rights. Likewise with the third Riyria Chronicle book. That's had it's audio rights signed even though I've not started writing it yet ;-)
So, yes, as you can see this format is VERY important to me. I can't see a time when I would release a book without a corresponding audio version.
Thanks for asking!

Hi Michael! I'm a huge fan of Riyria and your story as an independent author. One of the things that always hooks me in fantasy books is the language (the names of persons, places, things, etc). Riyria is loaded with names of people and places that show a culture all of it's own. Would you mind sharing your inspiration behind the naming of some of the locations or historical figures in your novels? Novron? Avempartha?
