Michael Chatfield Glad you enjoyed the series!! I am not aiming to write more books in the ten realms universe. It was a blast, but I don't have any storylines that would do the duo justice. I like to leave the books with some space for you the readers to imagine what they'd do next. I am working on other series and I've started another fantasy series. Thanks again for checking out the series and I hope I can bring you something in the near future that scratches that reading itch!
Michael Chatfield Builder's legacy Sliding Reality is out early for Patreon supporters, and is up for pre-order on Amazon! :D
Michael Chatfield He has, though we have to get things set up for the release so we've got a schedule (for most things). New releases get priority, but don't worry we'll have it out soon! Also if you're on the discord and a Patreon subscriber, you can get access to his live recordings!
Michael Chatfield We're working to have the re-narration fit in with the new audiobooks being released, so by the time the tenth realm audio drops we have the entire series re-narrated!
Michael Chatfield Ninth realm is coming on the 29th of March, I don't have a release date for the Tenth realm right now!
Michael Chatfield I don't have a release date at this time, as soon as I do I'll post it to my social media. The base stat is the power that they have cultivated internally, and the secondary is the boosts from the ten realms acting through them. I was reading a lot of Wuxia and translated books and I also like Western Fantasy, I wanted to blend the two together because I thought it would be fun. The characters really came to be, I don't really model them after anyone or anything, they just kind of grew as I got to know them and write their story.
Michael Chatfield We will have to wait and see what happens!
Michael Chatfield Neil Hellegers will be recording and re-recording all of the ten realms books to make sure that it is continuous throughout and to provide greater immersion. I am dedicated to bringing and creating the highest quality books, in a timely manner (in any form) to readers. Hope you have a great day and find a great book to read! If you were interested in the Ten Realms series (sorry to see you go) I would say to go check out Will Wight, Bryce o'connor, Luke Chmilenko, James Hunter, Dakota Krout and K.T. Hanna. They're all great authors and have some awesome series.

Michael Chatfield 8th realm is up next! And should have some announcements in a couple of weeks I hope!

Michael Chatfield Thanks for letting me know! I went and checked it out, that looks like the right ending for the book. I wanted to leave it a bit open and people thinking with the questions the characters are thinking on :)

Also thank you for re-reading! I find it really damn cool when people re-read my books, hope you're enjoying it for your second time! :D
Michael Chatfield I am writing and editing them over time, as we get close to the release date and I can pin them down I do facebook live's on the release dates :)
Michael Chatfield Answered this in a few places, Neil will be taking over the rest of the Ten Realms and he will be re-recording the older books to provide continuity throughout. Todd and I had professional differences, I would like to work with him again in the future, but we will not continue working together on the ten realms series.
Michael Chatfield I'm aiming to have just the ten realms, but with the 6th and 7th being MASSIVE there will be a total of 12 books. While I'm not looking to have more side stories I am toying with the idea of publishing my system so that people can create their own tale in the ten realms :)
Michael Chatfield Umm, that's a good question, we were having problems with the book being too large, it has been something we've been tinkering with, but it might be something that we can only solve with a kickstarted because we have more control with the printers.
