No a question but a comment after finishing Age of Empyre, EXCELLENT WORK! This is the first series that I read of your work and I am very impressed with the narrative. Truly outstanding. Apparently I have to put a "?" to be able to publish this.

Michael J. Sullivan Hey there. Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the stories. And here's to hoping that now that you've read Legends, you'll dig into Riyria as well. I recommend order of publication (start with Theft of Swords). While each series can be read independently of the other, I think you'll find it interesting to see how the truths of the past have been distorted such that what people believe 3,000 years into Elan's future, isn't the same as what you know to be true.

I'll do my best to keep more stories coming!

Richard Alan asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Greetings Michael! This is not a question, but a thank you for helping me stay on point. "The Last Train" is away for that little magic copyright number. As soon as that comes back, Amazon Kindle here I come. Other platforms will follow as I learn formatting specifications, or break my vow and pay a distributor like Blue Ash / Book Baby. Thank You for Your Support & Friendship!

Weston Kincade

Weston Kincade asked Michael J. Sullivan:

In my experience a good small to midsize publisher can be quite helpful, but I've wondered if, or when, authors should branch out? When in an author's career would it be a good idea to query the big 5 or an agent with a new book (as in, when are they likely to really consider your work since they take so few authors early in their careers)? Or would you advise going that route at all?

FrenzieMcKenzie asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi Michael, when you introduce a character into one of your stories do you know they are going to die? What makes you decide to kill them? I recently read The Riyria Revelations which was awesome. I really noticed that there were a lot of people dying and I started to get suspicious how far any new character I met would make it. So I was wondering what goes on with character death from your perspective as a writer.
