I guess I have to learn to be more patient until my ball is rolling to the right direction like yours.:) You and your work are truly an inspiration.I visited your Website and got so many useful ideas.I see that you’re also offering your books and e-books in your own store.I was always afraid to trust and work with PayPal.But I guess it is going well for you?So I give it a try and hope for the best.My best wishes.Lily

Michael J. Sullivan It's been said many times before, but that doesn't mean it's not true, writing is indeed a marathon not a sprint. More content is the key. If one book didn't find a following, write another. Keep rinsing and repeating until the momentum starts to shift.

Glad you found the website helpful. And yes, I sell my books directly (and when people buy from there I make my best margins. Paypal is extremely reliable, easy to use, and all in all a great system to work with. There are others as well, but I've found it to meet all my needs, so I haven't ever explored other options. I wish you success!

Hi there! I was looking at books (as one does) and found this https://www.abebooks.com/9780197671238/Born-Innocent-Protecting-Dependents-Accused-9780197672/plp. Is this you? If not, I can separate it from your name. Or we can leave it as it is, there’s just a note in the GR description asking for the change. Also, yes, I’ve read everything! of yours, and passed the books on to others. Thanks for writing!

Skip asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Michael, what's the story with Death of Dulgath being out of stock at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble? Ludicrous. Your publisher is not doing its job. Maybe Robin can help? :-)

Matthew Sampson

Matthew Sampson asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Good day, I am wondering if you would share the story of how you got paired up with Tim Gerard Reynolds as your narrator? Is that something that was simply blind luck with what the publisher decided for you or is there some other connection there? Narrators obviously have an enormous impact on the success of a book and I don’t think you could have anyone better than him reading your work! He is fantastic!
