Michael J. Sullivan:
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!

Hello, I have just finished your Ryaria Revelations series. I can honestly say, that it was one of the best fantasy series I've ever read. In moments it reminded me of the Witcher saga with its captivating world. I was wondering, have you read it too? Thank you for great books!

Well I would first like to gush about how much I love your books. I have read every single one. Royce and Hadrian have such a beautiful friendship and I reread the Riyria books every year. My question is - I love the cover art from the original books - The Crown Conspiracy, Avempartha. Nyphron Rising, etc- but I have only read the newer compiled sets (Theft of Swords, etc), is there any differences?

Greetings Mr. Sullivan! Love your work, FYI, but am curious, if not too personal of a question... what was your day job before becoming a full time author? And do you find yourself writing a lot more now that you are full time, or do you spend a similar amount of time working on your books?
