Hi Michael, Looking forward to The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter. Will you be taking submissions for a short story to publish at the end of the book, as you did with The Death of Dulgath?
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Jon,
Glad you are looking forward to The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter. I really like the way the book turned out, and I hope you will too! We really enjoyed showcasing a new author as part of our last Kickstarter (The Methuselah Treatment written by T. C. Powell). Unfortunately, we'll not be able to do that this time. The book has already gone through layout. And is just waiting for the copyedits to be placed in before it's ready to go to the printer. If we are going to have ANY hope of getting the books to people in time for Christmas, we have to roll presses on October 15, and there is no time to start the competition, get the submissions in, structural edit the story, copy edit the story, layout out, and then still get the books off to the printer.
I'd love to do this for a future project, but the deadline on Winter's Daughter doesn't allow for such. Thanks for asking.

Hi Michael. Excited for the 6th Book in the First Empire Series to come out soon. I wanted to ask, with the Empire series wrapping up would you ever write a History of Elan/Atlas like "The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern" or "The Compleat Discworld Atlas" to share some of your notes/world-building for the world of Elan?

I just wanted to say thanks again. We chatted on Reddit after I had read one or two of the books and bought a signed set from you there. Thanks again. I will be re-reading them this year and really look forward to it. Excellent books and I look forward to more Riyria books to come?
