From Nov 14 - Nov 16, I'm making The Death of Dulgath free (that's a savings of $9.99). You can get copies on Amazon (which will also enable you to get the audiobook for just $1.99) or you can get a copy direct from me, which will provide formats for any reading device, and give you an opportunity to send a friend a free copy.

Don't buy The Death of Dulgath today! I'm going to be making it free tomorrow through Thursday, so save yourself $9.99. It's had 6,866 ratings (99% liked it and just a hair under 50% rated it 5-stars). Currently exclusive on Amazon but if you need other formats, you can get them from here.

What a nice thing to wake up to! Just saw that Age of Swords was added to the Goodreads Choice Awards! My appreciation goes out to all the people who voted for it to be added as a write-in during the first round. You can vote for your favorite out of the final 20 at this link.

It's Goodreads Choice Award time! I'm a bit saddened that Age of Swords wasn't nominated in the Fantasy category. Still, 5 awards in 6 years is certainly a lot to be proud of. Maybe it'll get added in round 2 as a write in. Vote for your favorite here!

My thanks go out to all the fine, supportive people backing The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter Kickstarter. We fully funded in under 53 hours, and we've already reached our first stretch goal ($50,000). Backers will get to read the next Riyria adventure on December 5th, a full six-months before the book is available in the retail chain.

Yesterday, I started implementing the beta changes to Age of War. My thanks to the best beta readers in the world! More than 25 people helped to make the book even better than I could on my own. I'm on Chapter 12 (out of 32) and the finished version should be going to my publisher's production team in early October.

It's my birthday!! Going to celebrate the best way I know how, working on the plots for a new trilogy. For some, it might sound like "work" but for me, it's pure joy!

The beta read for The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter is completed, and the changes have been incorporated! I'm looking for a few people who HAVE NOT read any Riyria books to give opinions on whether this book met my goal of being a standalone. If interested in getting a free copy and weighing in, you can sign up here.

For those that missed the Goodreads for Writers online seminar yesterday, it will eventually be posted as a downloadable produce in the Writer's Digest Store. So you'll be able to watch it at your convenience. I'll update people when it's available.

For any writers out there: I'll be doing an online course today at 1:00 p.m. EST for Writer's Digest on how to effectively use goodreads to help build an audience. If you aren't available at 1:00, sign up anyway, as it will be recorded and you can view it at your leisure.

"People really don't like their beliefs challenged by facts, much less by fiction." Something I came up with when mulling over a negative review regarding Age of Swords with regards to women and what they can and cannot achieve.

So, I can't lie. It's a trill to see my name in The New York Times on a bestseller list. Now, it's not THE NYT list--this one is for best-selling audio titles for the week of July 28th--but, hey, never thought I would see my name listed for ANY reason, so I'll take it. Especially given Age of Swords hit #1.

Can't complain about a review like this: "Brilliant is the word that applies!This gripping, epic fantasy novel will keep readers enraptured from the first sentence to the last page. Packed with adventure and smart, realistic characters, Age of Swords is a truly mesmerizing novel. This must be one of Sullivan's finest achievements." -- NY Literary Magazine on of Age of Swords

Wow, can't believe how out of date my "About the Author" page was on my website. Just updated it with information about the scheduled release for the reset or the Legends of the First Empire books as well as plans for the new series I'm writing. I'll try to do better with keeping it updated going forward.
