A Goodreads user asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi, Michael. I was wondering: are you looking at a one- or two-per-year release time frame for Legends of the First Empire? Thanks, and Elan is--at the very least--tied for my favorite mythos.

Michael J. Sullivan Hey Jedidiah, The release schedule isn't determined by me, it's set by the publisher Del Rey. They have signed the first three books of the series (so far) and I believe the intention is to put them out on one year intervals (each summer). I say "believe" as the release schedule has not been set for book #3 yet, but based on some text in Age of Myth it looks like they plan for Age of Swords to come out in the summer of 2017.

I'm honored to have Elan be one of your favorite mythos - but of course I have to ask, what is the other one?

No a question but a comment after finishing Age of Empyre, EXCELLENT WORK! This is the first series that I read of your work and I am very impressed with the narrative. Truly outstanding. Apparently I have to put a "?" to be able to publish this.

D. Vernet asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi Michael, which one of your books can you recommend to read first? I usually do not read fantasy novels, but I was quite thrilled by the way you wrote description of your books. Fascinating language, I would even say hypnotizing—it makes one to read more. Thank you in advance, D.

Zareepa asked Michael J. Sullivan:

I've just finished reading The Rose and The Thorn. Would it make a difference if I read Theft of Swords before the third book? What would you recommend? It seems that Theft of Swords picks up where The Rose and The Thorn ended. Thank you.
