I hate to ask this so soon after releasing AOE, but... what's next? A new series of 6 following the creation of Percepliquis? Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to getting it.

Hey Jeremy, thanks for asking. So next up is a trilogy which is tentatively called "The Rise and Fall" - and it is based in Elan and takes place after the events of Legends (800 years) and before Riyria (1,000) years. Right now the books are called: Nolyn, Farilane, and Esrahaddon. Nolyn is a name that should be familiar to people who read Legends. Esrahaddon should be recognizable to Riyria fans. Farilane actually appears in both books, but she is only mentioned in passing so people may not recognize her.
I've written the first two books, and I'm doing research to start the third. Robin, my wife has finished her alpha read on book #1 and has only very minor comments (a good sign). Hopefully the book will go into beta soon.
Release dates are tentatively scheduled for the Summer of 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Hey! Your series has many layers to it and you often mention that one of the reasons why you write the series as a whole before publishing is to get them all in order. But how do you actually incorporate these layers into your writing? Do you just go with an idea them add the needed scenes as you go or did you have some plan/list of what should lead to what somewhere to keep them all straight as you wrote?

I just finished Theft of Swords; it was 4+. Nice to find some newer fantasy that is not 1. Dark and twisted like Martin, 2. Hard to follow like Erikson, or 3 . Full of modern inuendos (dudespeak) like Weeks. Don't get me wrong, those are good authors, just not what I call high fantasy. Good work. I like the title Rhune (original) better than Age of Legends (how bland). Any chance of changing it back?
