Now that I've listened to "Professional Integrity", I'm even more convinced that you could be a great author of detective fiction, if you ever decided to try it. I had already noticed in the Riyria books some elements and devices, and some writing skills, that are typical of that genre. And Royce could be a great detective, besides being a great criminal... So, have you ever thought of writing detective fiction?
Michael J. Sullivan
I have! The problem is getting time to do so. I have a stack of books waiting to be written and fitting in a new series with all new characters in a new genre is a big undertaking. That being said. Now that The First Empire series is done (from a writing perspective), it might be a good candidate for my "next series." I've long wanted to have a book released in all the various genres that I enjoy: Fantasy, Science Fiction (check), Mystery/Thriller, and Horror.

Hi Michael. This may be too spoilery to answer (if so, no worries at all!), but I was wondering how much time will have passed between the end of revelations and the start of the cycle? Thanks so much! And thanks again for your writing - I'm currently reading chronicles and I love them so much, it's so fun to see early days Royce and Hadrian and i love seeing more of Gwen!

Hello Michael I just finished all 6 of Revelation. I like to say I brought book 1-2 before I could finish I brought all in both series. Now I'm start reading the Chronicles next. But my question is have you every through about having a mini graphic novel series with Royce and Hadrian in it. I'll love to see how you vision your characters. I'll so love to see how Royce would look lol. But have you considered it?

First, I want to say that Royce and Hadrian are some of the most fun characters I’ve read. Can’t wait to read more. Me and some friends have been publishing our books as a team. We have good feedback so far, but are struggling to find readers. Do you have any advice for us? What were some of the challenges when you first started and how did you overcome them? Anything you share will be much appreciated.
