I loved mimic arcanist so much and it was an amazing read. The nostalgia of the earlier frith chronicles books is incredible and I hope you turn Astra academy into a similarly epic tale. Also I know you were planning for your bibliography to drop after mimic arcanist. Any timeframe for when that would hit the shelves?

The Bestiary – and I have been looking into finishing the text inside, and perhaps starting a Kickstarter to make it a truly epic book with lots of artwork inside, perhaps stats for table-top gaming, and lore around the creatures. Fingers crossed! it’ll take a lot of work, but I think it’ll be cool. o.o

I would say I love writing both, lol – I know that’s a cheap answer, but I love them for different reasons? Also, it’s like asking someone who their favorite child is. You can’t pick one! They’re all special and precious. Volke is a knight, unironically good, and Gray is someone sarcastic (who wants you to think he doesn’t care, but he really does care) and those are just great personalities to write. ❤

Wow incredible series! Love the intertwining storyline of Volke in mimic Arcanist, absolute gem of a book. I do have a question though. When they competed in finding the ore the prize was a trinket that prevented Raaza from getting cold. However later it is mentioned he was shivering? Was he just not wearing the bracelet? Also- sorry for such a specifically odd question, your writing is incredible!

Hey there! As for the plague creatures question, they don’t “work for” the Autarch, they’re just driven mad by the plague, and act destructively. In book 2 (dread Pirate) you can see they are carrying around a plague-ridden gargoyle, because the Autarch’s plan was to spread disease and sickness. He gave these creatures to pirates so they could unleash them and cause havoc. Just like (SPOILERS) with Luthair. He was unleashed to cause destruction. So, again, “work for” isn’t really the right term. They were like animals being unleashed. Hopefully that clears things up!
