Greetings! Would it be possible to provide (best guess) body counts for both Royce and Hadrian, separately?! To satisfy my morbid curiosity!! :D Also, follow up question, totally related, any chance of swapping out the current goodreads author pic for the one in The Crown Tower print book? That's a highly prized mustachio I saw in that book!

Hey Matt, Thanks for sending in a question. You know, I haven't the slightest idea on body counts, or even whose ahead. There is so much that happened in their pasts, that makes it hard to determine. If I were to make a speculation I would think that Hadrian is ahead of Royce, (something he would take no solace in).
As for author picks - absolutely not!! If I'd had my druthers that one would be "wished away to the corn field (an old Twilight Zone reference -- a place to send something to horrible to look at). I wore a "stache" for most of my adult life, and have been sans one now for a number of years. My hair is going gray and the facial hair is 100% converted over at this point. It makes me look 10 - 15 years older so I'm happy with the bare lip that is keeping some of the "old man" feelings away. Plus, there's the fact that Peter V. Brett called it my "70's porn star stache" Which definitely wasn't what I was shooting for ;-)

Is there anyway to get hardcover volumes of the Riyria Revealations and the Riyria Chronicles?

Hi Michael, when you introduce a character into one of your stories do you know they are going to die? What makes you decide to kill them? I recently read The Riyria Revelations which was awesome. I really noticed that there were a lot of people dying and I started to get suspicious how far any new character I met would make it. So I was wondering what goes on with character death from your perspective as a writer.
