J asked Michael J. Sullivan:

I hate to ask this so soon after releasing AOE, but... what's next? A new series of 6 following the creation of Percepliquis? Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to getting it.

Michael J. Sullivan Hey Jeremy, thanks for asking. So next up is a trilogy which is tentatively called "The Rise and Fall" - and it is based in Elan and takes place after the events of Legends (800 years) and before Riyria (1,000) years. Right now the books are called: Nolyn, Farilane, and Esrahaddon. Nolyn is a name that should be familiar to people who read Legends. Esrahaddon should be recognizable to Riyria fans. Farilane actually appears in both books, but she is only mentioned in passing so people may not recognize her.

I've written the first two books, and I'm doing research to start the third. Robin, my wife has finished her alpha read on book #1 and has only very minor comments (a good sign). Hopefully the book will go into beta soon.

Release dates are tentatively scheduled for the Summer of 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Dustin Breese asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Just finished The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter. Wow! What a great story! Loved it! Question: I _thought_ I've read everything regarding Riyria, but in the Author's Note in this book, you mentioned this is the 10th book about Royce and Hadrian? I can't get the math to add up, so which book am I missing? Revelations (3 books) + Chronicles (4) + The Jester + ??

Mia asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi, Michael. It may be a silly question, but how tall (tiny) is Royce? When describing him everyone always comment that he is "the short one" or "the smaller one". Is it just because Hadrian is huge, or is he actually really small? I would also like to say that I love your exciting books and the wonderful characters! Thanks. - Mia

Mia Huffman asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Has this been asked yet: will there be a compilation of "The Book of Brin"? I'd LOVE to add that to my printed collection (and maybe Robin can sign as Brin) :-)
