Hi! I have some questions 1-I've only seen a series of full-length novels, based on your world, the rest are novellas. Will you do more series of full-length novels based on your world? A long series would be great. Novellas are fine to complement, but I don't think it's enough to tell a great story and tell us all about your world. 2-Does it have a map?

Hey Thomas! Sorry I haven't answered this in a long while. I didn't realize it was waiting for me!
1) I'm working on longer stories now that I've kind of scratched my itch with the novellas. Even the first wave of novellas are getting longer follow-ups. For new series that are starting up with longer tales, check out Silver Serpent and Heart of the Forest.
2) I have a couple of maps, but nowhere near as much as I should.
- The map of Versali-Virai is one of my favorites, and I really should commission more city maps. http://tellest.com/art-versali-virai-...
- The map of Draconis is really nice, and the artist we commissioned for it did a really great job with it. http://tellest.com/art-map-of-draconis/
I am talking with a cartographer now about the potential of doing the entirety of Tellest's map. It's a big lift, and I want to make sure it's handled well, and has natural feeling features (not rivers flowing awkwardly and in the wrong directions, or with mountain ranges that don't make a lot of sense).
Hope that answers your questions. And if you have any others, feel free to pitch them my way. I'll pay more attention going forward!
