Lisa

Lisa asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi Michael, we’ve heard that Hadrian’s mum apparently died when he was young. But we don’t know much more. Are we ever going to learn more about her or meet her (such as in the cycle or chronicles)? I’d also love to see a short story about a younger Haridan the way we did about Royce. Have you considered doing this? Thanks, I hope your having a nice day 😁

Michael J. Sullivan Hey Lisa. I'm being pretty closed mouth about "The Cycle." To date I've not disclosed "how far" down the timeline and "what characters" will be in it.

As for a 'young Hadrian' story - well, I wasn't expectiving to write a "young Royce' until the opportunity arose. In that case, someone needed something for an anthology and given the "theme" of the anthology an early Royce tale just seemed to fit.

I just realized that I'm really not giving you much "help" on answering your question. But in many cases until I cross a fork I don't know which direction I'll take.

I'm so glad you had Tim Gerrard Reynolds narrating your books. He's brilliant and loved how he played the characters, especially Royce and Hadrian! I loved the world and characters created, personalities developed. The quirks and nuances of everyday life that you inserted in even some of the most serious of situations, added to it's authenticity and organic telling. Thank you!!?

Britt Griffin asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi again, I saw on a Reddit thread from a few weeks ago that you had met with some people about a possible film adaptation for Riyria, but never updated us on how the meeting went, so I thought I’d go ahead and ask! Any good news to share? I assume things haven’t progressed much otherwise you would have announced something by now, but even just a little bit of progress is still progress :) Best of luck to you!
