Thanks, Michael for persisting to become not just an author but the best selling writer in your genre. I have listened to all of the Ryira Chronicles and now am listening to Winters Daughter. I listened to your office notes. Your struggles to write have paid off. Congratulations to you and Robin. You inspire me. What should I read next in your series of books?
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Grace! Thanks so much for taking the time to write. I'm so glad to hear you are inspired to do some writing of your own. Getting published isn't easy, but you know, the writing is the important part, so as long as you are enjoying that, that's what matters most.
If you've read the Riyria Chronicle tales, then you definitely should pick up Theft of Swords (first book in the Riyria Revelations). While Chronicle is "ongoing" -- next book (Drumindor), the Revelations series is 100% complete and it will give you a lot of insight into Royce and Hadrian and where there friendship goes.
If you like those books, then next up will be Age of Myth. It's the first book in the Legends of the First Empire series, and it tells the truths about a number of lies that I weave about the history of Elan throughout the Riyria stories.
Thanks again for writing, and I hope your writing goes well!

Riyria is the standard for me in fantasy. I mean it. I finished Revelations and Chronicles some time ago and the fellas still live with me. THANK YOU. But First Empire is great in a different way. There seemed to be more life lessons in that series, more thoughtful quotes. Was that intentional? Every day I think about Malcolm's quote about us believing the most outlandish lie that supports... Seriously, every day.

Hi Michael! I was wondering what are your thoughts on the idea of a Riyria animated series? Animation has developed so much as a form of storytelling since shows like Avatar the Last Airbender, Steven Universe, Castlevania, etc. Even though I can totally see Riyria play out as a live-action series, it would be so fun to see in animation! Have you ever considered pitching it for an animated adaptation as well?

Hi there, Not so much of a question, just yet another request that you PLEASE continue writing the adventures of Royce and Hadrian. Out of all of the books I've ever read, this is, quite honestly, one of my very favorite book series. I read the Chronicles and the Revelations all within a month and I literally missed the characters when I was finished (so much so that I've started all over again :)?
