I really don't have a question but wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Age of Swords. The female characters were really well developed and realistically written. I was sad to have it come to an end. Very much looking forward to the next one. Will we have to wait a year for another one?

Hey Melisssa,
Well thank you so much for stopping by and letting me know how much you enjoyed the book. Age of Swords has a current release date of April 17th, so it will be coming out in less than a year. The plan is that for the last four books of the series we are going to try to accelerate the release cycle to two books a year with release dates in April and October. So...
* Age of War (April 2018)
* Age of Legends (October 2018)
* Age of Wonder (April 2019)
* Age of Empire (October 2019)
It'll be ambitious because even though they are all written there is still much that needs to be done: beta editing, line editing, copy editing. Age of War is currently in beta, and it seems to be going well. That means the book is in good shape and only minor tweaking here and there, but until the beta is completely finished I won't know with 100% assurance.
So, not quite a year for the next book and then after that we'll try to keep them coming at six-month intervals.

Hi again, I saw on a Reddit thread from a few weeks ago that you had met with some people about a possible film adaptation for Riyria, but never updated us on how the meeting went, so I thought I’d go ahead and ask! Any good news to share? I assume things haven’t progressed much otherwise you would have announced something by now, but even just a little bit of progress is still progress :) Best of luck to you!

Hey Mike! I just finished reading The Death of Dulgath and The Making of it, and I loved them both. The book was a classic R+H "thriller", and the making unveiled new aspects of how your stories come together. Anyways, I was curious if you were still going through with creating a "rare edition" collection for the Riyria series, as proposed on The Death of Dulgath Kickstarter? Thanks, Jake

Dear Sullivan, you are an inspiration for new authors like us. I've published my novel, "The Chronicles Of Undiscovered Worlds Under The Sea" back in 2019 but I have pretty less idea how to take it to the world stage. You response is of great value for me. My question is how can I help my little creation to travel more?
