Rachel asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Is there a specific order I should read the books if I've never picked them up before?

Michael J. Sullivan My personal preference is "writing order" which is a slightly modified "publication order" - I say modified because some books were written but due to contractural obligations they were released at a different time then when written. So I suggest:

- Revelations 1 - 6: Theft of Swords > Rise of Empire > Heir of Novron
- Chronicles 1 - 2: The Crown Tower > The Rose and the Thorn
- Legends 1 - 3: Age of Myth > Age of Swords >Age of War
- Chronicles 3 - 4: The Death of Dulgath > The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter
- Legends 4 - 6: Age of Legend > Age of Death > Age of Empyre
- Rise and Fall 1- 3: Farialane > Nolyn > Esrahaddon
- Chronicles 5: Drumindor

Filippo asked Michael J. Sullivan:

I've been dipping my toe into writing. I'm wondering if you could offer some advice. Some dark topics will appear in my stories. Do you have any advice for writing dark subjects, disturbed characters and scenarios, while not feeling 'icky' about it? Or is that just a part of it?

Ype asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hey Michael! Had this question that I've been asking myself each time I come across it: How do you pronounce Techylor? Is it as in 'tech' as in 'technology, is the 'y' as in 'eye'?

Trine Lise asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi Michael :) As a mythology-buff, I wanted to ask a few questions about the gods of Elan. Were you inspired by any mythologies when you made the creation story and deities, did you simply develop it to fit the story or was it primarily based on the redemption theme the Riyria books have? And, if it’s not considered some sort of spoiler, did Erebus ever manage to collect all the feathers and be forgiven by Muriel?
