Hello Micheal, Is there ever going to be much more of a back story on Eshrahaddon? I wasn't the biggest fan of the character, but he intrigued me. Also, one of my favorite aspects of the books is the emotional arc and progression of Royce. Did you intend for him to stay dark through out or did you plan on the progressive arc of his character?

Hey Logan,
Funny you should ask that. I have a number of story ideas that "fills in the gaps" about past history. One of them is tentatively titled: "Fall of Percepliquis" and it shows Esrahaddon as an apprentice Cenzar and his relationship with Jerish and yes...eventually the events that results in the destruction of the empire's capital city. I'm not sure when I'll write this (or even if I will...a lot will depend on if readers are interested in seeing this book -- I have a poll where people vote on such things (http://michaeljsullivan.polldaddy.com...).
As for Royce...a key component for the entire series is his character arc. In many ways it's the core element. So yes, I did plan on showing how he changes. I'm glad you enjoyed being with him through his trials and tribulations.

Good day, I am wondering if you would share the story of how you got paired up with Tim Gerard Reynolds as your narrator? Is that something that was simply blind luck with what the publisher decided for you or is there some other connection there? Narrators obviously have an enormous impact on the success of a book and I don’t think you could have anyone better than him reading your work! He is fantastic!

My question is this. Why have you done this to me Michael? I had a lineup of books to go through that had been set for a few months. Then I had to go and listen to your shorts on Audible. Now I'm downloading a Theft of Swords on there as we speak, set to go through. Now You've added another minimum 6 books to the top of my reading list. Thank you.
