are there any plans to continue writing mage errant following the main cast? id love to see them adventure more throughout the multiverse!

Eventually, yeah, but I have several other series I want to do first! That said I'm presently working on Mage Errant: The Young Warlocks alongside More Gods Than Stars 2!

I hate doing self-promotion

But it's literally part of my job, alas. So I'll suffer through the anxiety and feeling of imposition, because:

There's a set of new hardcover editions releasing from Simon and Schuster, starting with a single volume of Into the Labyrinth and Jewel of the Endless Erg, so as a special bonus, anyone who pre-orders the new Mage Errant hardcover is getting a brand new exclusive* Mage Errant short story, The Stargazer’s Tower! The Stargazer’s Tower is an homage to Arcane Ascension and Slay the Spire, and I had an absolute blast writing it. All you need to do to get it? Email your proof of pre-order to [email protected]. That’s it! I’ll respond with your copy of the short story within a few days. Pre-orders are the single best thing you can do to help a book launch succeed, so if you are so inclined, that would be amazing! (Not just for me- seriously, if any authors you like have books you're looking forward to, pre-order them if you can! Times are tough for authors these days! (Who aren't they tough for? Answer: capitalist exploiters, who are actively waging class war against the rest of us. Will buying my anticapitalist books fight capitalism? Probably not, but they might at least help you make it through the day.))

Anyhow, if you want the short story:

pre-order it before release day (September 29th) and

send proof of pre-order to [email protected],

and you get the story free!

* Exclusive for one year from release of the new hardcover. If you can’t afford to pre-order right now (times are tough, thanks capitalism!), no worries; you’ll get your hands on it eventually.

have you ever thought about writing litrpg? also do you plan for all of your work to be in the same multiverse?

I've considered LitRPG, but if I wanted to keep track of numbers, I would probably have gone into another line of work, hah! Not an absolutely never, but... pretty unlikely. And the vast majority of my work for the near future will be in the same multiverse, yeah! I've got a few short stories on my Patreon that aren't a part of that multiverse, but the bulk of my output will be in the Aetheriad.

Small cats purr. Big cats chuff.

Does Kanderon Crux purr because it's relatively small to a larger breed of sphinx like cats?

[Redacted], though you'll find out many answers about sphinx biology- and a lot of other mysteries- in the next Aetheriad series after More Gods Than Stars, codenamed Project PROTEAN MIRROR.
