Hey Michael! I know you have many other projects running currently, but as I re-read Revelations, I couldn't help but wonder- have you ever considered writing a series (full length or short stories) revolving around characters attending Sheridan? I would love to learn more about the University, what people study, and certainly more 'screen time' for Arcadius would be AMAZING!

Hey Trent, Sorry for the delay in answering...been really busy and trying to spread out some of the AA stuff.
I always have other projects going. I JUST finished edits on book #3 of my new series (Legends of the First Empire) - it's a 5-book series that explores Novron's backstory and the forming of the First Empire. The entire series is written, and I hope to have Book #4 & Book #5 edited by April or May.
I have a few other ideas I want to explore in Elan.
1. The Fall of Percepliquis - which would be Esrahaddon's backstory
2. A book that occurs after Revelations centering in the goblin-controlled territories
3. Hopefully more Riyria Chronicles - response from The Death of Dulgath has been really positive so I think there will be a 4th, but until I'm in a position to start writing it I won't know for sure.
I don't currently have any Sheridan University stories planned. Maybe I could explore when Arista attended. Don't know. It's an interesting idea. I'll noodle on it and see if I can come up with anything...but seeing as how well Rowlings did a "Wizard School" it'd be pretty hard to top that.
I do think Arcadius will have more screen time in various Chronicle books (if they continue of course). He's a fun character.
Thanks for asking.

Michael, I just published my first novel, Unholy Innocents, in July, 2015. I listened to the recorded webinar that you and Robin did August 18 on Goodreads. It was very helpful. thank you. You are fortunate to have someone so capable to assist you. I am considering spending the money on a Kirkus Review. Do you have any thoughts on whether or not this is a good expenditure?

It appears that you aren't planning more Ryria for a really long time. The problem seems to be the time period, I mean you're saying that you could either write pre Ryria or post Ryria. ? My idea is this: You have written about some of their adventures in a particular time period but they must have had more within that time. They weren't always involved in world changing events.
