My brother (Dennis) got me into your books and I am so happy he has. Are you ever going to venture away from Riyria into a different path?
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Jay, thanks for asking. And please tell your brother I said hello, and thank him for helping to spread the word. As for venturing away for Riyria...I already have. Legends of the First Empire is based in the same world as Riyria but its set 3,000 years before Royce and Hadrian are born. I'm also 1.5 books into The Rise and the Fall series, which is also not a Riyria title (but like the other books it is set in Elan). That one will be a trilogy that will fall between Legends and Riyria in the timeline. Then there is Hollow World, which is my time-travel, sci-fi thriller. I also have a horror novel that I've been working on but I'm not sure when it'll be released. Lastly, I have a sci-fi novel that I outlined about 3 years ago and just haven't found the time to get it down on paper. So, yeah, I love Royce and Hadrian, but I have several other characters I've fallen in love with as well, and there are some other settings that are non Elan. Thanks for asking!

Have you read the Mistborn Trilogy? Because I found some of the terms from the trilogy in Age of Myth.

Hi, Michael! I'm reading Wintertide at the moment and the whole series is absolutely brilliant! (I am not saying this in order to flatter you only to get my question answered, I really mean it!) So the question - If someone is trying to write a book, but in the same time is reading books he is loving and are inspiring him, will this affect the book he is writting in a way either as a story or atmosphere?
