Hi Michael, I was wondering how Blythin Castle was going? Is it hard to go from writing the cycle back to chronicles? Or is it a nice change of pace? Looking forward to all the upcoming books and sorry for all the questions! Thanks!

Hey Lottie, It's going really well - just 3 chapters left to go! My hope is to have it finished up so that I can get back to The Cycle on October 1st. No, it's not hard to go back to The Chronicles. Writing Royce and Hadrian is easy and effortless - I know the two so well now that I have 12 novels (and a bunch of short stories) with the pair. That said, for about a month now I've been "itching" to get back to The Cycle. A lot of what is in Blythium Castle is "setup" work for the sequel series - so by writing BC, it's got my Cycle juices flowing. Each day I spend the morning writing Chronicles and the afternoon adding details to the plot of Book #3 of the Cycle, so I'm quite excited for each of them.

if i buy a hardback / paperback copy of a book, is there a reason i can not get a copy of the digital version? presumably most authors send digital copies to the publisher and so not much effort goes into 'kindleising' it. i would have bought the hardback of AOS (amazing and reviewed) if this was the case money was lost. so i am not sure why this doesnt happen, afaik the paperback costs more than the kindle

Michael, I am about finished with Theft of Swords. I love this book so much. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, as I am just now getting deeper into reading fantasy novels. My question is, are you planning on a sequel to your Revelations series at all? I know you have more Chronicles planned, I hope, but I would love to see the further adventures of Royce and Hadrian.
