Will the audiobook for Nolan be released at the same time as the print and ebook editions?
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Grace, the "official retail release date" for all the formats: hardcover, ebook, and audio is the same date - August 3, 2021, and pre-order pages are already posted for them. Paperback editions will follow about a 9 months to a year later).
But...on 02/09/21 (@12:00 noon EST) - we are launching a Kickstarter for Nolyn and people who purchase through it will receive the ebook version in April (so several months before the retail release).
People who purchase hardcovers from that Kickstarter will have them ship a few days after they come off the presses (I don't know that date yet, but it will certainly be before the retail warehouses have their copies).
The Kickstarter DOES NOT have an audio version (because those rights were purchased by Audible.com and so we can't distribute them outside of that partnership). So, there is no "early way" to get the audiobook edition.
I should also note, that for people who visit the Kickstarter in the first 15 minutes, there will be "Early Bird Specials" which offer 20% off the following reard levels:
* D(EARLY BIRD): ebook - $8 rather than $10
* H(EARLY BIRD): ebook + hardcover- $28 rather than $35
* L(EARLY BIRD): ebook + limited edition faux-leather hardcover: $60 rather than $75.
Thanks for asking! I hope that clarifies things.

This is kind of a question, and I really don't know where else to put it or if I should, but you're an author that interacts frequently, consistently, and well with your readers (me included) https://kimharrison.wordpress.com/2015/10/12/you-only-hurt-the-one-you-love/ Is there anyway that people who don't hugely use social media can help besides just buy a couple of books and tell a few friends that you know of?

Hi Michael, I would love to start reading your work, but was wondering where to start. Are the Riyria books best read in publication order?
