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!

Builder's legacy Sliding Reality is out early for Patreon supporters, and is up for pre-order on Amazon! :D
Michael Chatfield
Looking at everything it should be early next year!
Michael Chatfield
Looks like it's updated now and you can see it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HJYM1SD Hope you enjoy!

haha glad you're enjoying the series!!

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!

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!

Ninth realm is coming on the 29th of March, I don't have a release date for the Tenth realm right now!

Thanks!
1) Damn, this should work! https://discord.gg/UkVH8Q7D
2) I don't have maps, and they are entire worlds so fine to make it up as you go, one great resource is this site: https://donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/dungeon/ I used their dungeons as a framework for my own and they also have full world generators in there too!

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.

We will have to wait and see what happens!

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.

Would you happen to have a timeline of when the re-reading will be available? I wouldn't mind a re-listen to the series and will def be suggesting this series to a reading group I have and would rather wait for the new reader before they dive in.

I need some crumb of information to help the wait.

(view spoiler)[Hi there,
I was wondering if you'd be able to take a loot at The Third Realm on amazon, the ending cuts off in the middle of the chapter "Same boys, changed men"? I seem to recall from my first read-through that it didn't cut off like this in the middle of breakfast with Qin, Yui, and Domonos. (Marked as spoiler just in case).
I've already contacted amazon and it's not a problem on their end. (hide spoiler)]

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

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.

.....Too large? Ok. How about working on the almost nonexistent editing? you know.. All those spelling and grammar errors.
Still love your story and t .....Too large? Ok. How about working on the almost nonexistent editing? you know.. All those spelling and grammar errors.
Still love your story and the books.. But come on mate...You really need to get a editor to look at the books before you publish them. Some really glaring issues going on. Like repeating entire chapters.. (Book 1 the two week curse) The part just before Chapter 65 was done TWICE. ...more
