Is Modesitt Jr. okay for query comps? He has a fan base, tons of books, and has sold quite a bit, but has always flown pretty far under the radar. Any individual book isn't very well known. He's a veteran of SFF, but I'm not sure that is enough to disqualify him. We aren't supposed to comp hits, implying unreal expectations, but I'm not sure if 3 million sales for a series of 18 books over 20+ years is unreal or simply optimistic.
