Perrin asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Not a question, sorry -- just wanted to let you know your session at the Writers Digest conference was one of my favorites. My brain bled by the end with all the amazing info you and your amazing, genius wife shared. Many thanks to you both.

Michael J. Sullivan Hey thanks. I was convinced it was a huge failure, so glad people got some good things out of it. For those that weren't at the conference the slides are posted on my website for both of my sessions:

* One on Goodreads
* The other on Author Branding

Andrew asked Michael J. Sullivan:

I just finished Theft of Swords; it was 4+. Nice to find some newer fantasy that is not 1. Dark and twisted like Martin, 2. Hard to follow like Erikson, or 3 . Full of modern inuendos (dudespeak) like Weeks. Don't get me wrong, those are good authors, just not what I call high fantasy. Good work. I like the title Rhune (original) better than Age of Legends (how bland). Any chance of changing it back?

Alex

Alex asked Michael J. Sullivan:

I know that the Riyira Revelations were all completed before you started publishing them, and you've said that really helped you make sure the overall story arc fit well and each book built on the last. How do has it changed the writing process for you to write the Riyira Chronicles or Hollow World without being able to hold them back?

Dave Diss

Dave Diss asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Never heard of you, Michael. But I don't suppose you've heard of me, either. That's the trouble, hardly anybody has. I don't write novels and have no wish to do so. As far as I'm concerned novels, generally, are just fairy tales for adults. What was it they always told us? Write what you know, wasn't it? That's what I do. I know about my own life; what I've done, where I've been and what I've seen. And believe me...?
