Blog postMany are familiar with the fact that I enjoy receiving letters from readers. Some of my favorites are the ones where two people in the same family are sharing the tale. Usually it's spouses, but I've also had dozens of letters from estranged siblings who have reunited over the books. I've also had a lot of letters where three generations (child, parent, and grandparent) are reading the books together. I must say these letters were never something I expected to receive, but I treasure

Blog postHow did I miss this? Oh, I know, I've been so busy finishing up the edits on the last book of this series. In any case, Del Rey has featured Age of Myth for it's 50 Page Friday segment. So, if you've not started the Legends of the First Empire yet, here is an easy and free way to take a look at the first three chapters of the first book. Age of War will be coming out soon, so it's an excellent reason to give it a look.

Blog postWe are still 2 1/2 months out from the release, and I’m pleased to say that more than 10,000 people have added Age of War to their Goodreads shelves. Holy smokes!
I’m thrilled that people are learning about the new release, and I’ve been encouraged by the reviews left by early readers.
Here’s what Justine had to say (she won one of the ARC copies last month)
As I’ve come to expect from Michael J. Sullivan, the tale he is weaving grows in scope and gets more ambitious a -

Blog postRight now there sure 1,616 titles on Audible that are waiting to be released and available for pre-order. I can't even imagine how difficult it is to decide what books to feature out so many. So I was thrilled when Robin mentioned that Age of War is getting top billing. This shows that Audible has a good degree of faith in this book's release....kinda like being picked to be featured in the "hot new releases" section of a bookstore (but without the publisher paying a co-op fee).&

Blog postHey all, Age of War is coming, and as such I have a few giveaways to tell you about.
First, there is a drawing for first edition copies of all three Legends of the First Empire books. This is open to people from all countries and we’ll do the drawing at the end of June and ship the books in early July. There have been several printings of Age of Myth (and I think Age of Swords has also gone into at least one reprint) so this is an excellent chance to get books that might not be av -

Blog postHey all, did you know we are just 3 short months away from the release of Age of War? I’m so excited to hear what you all think of the new novel. We are working hard to get information posted to help people “ramp up” quickly so I’ve added the following to this website.

Blog postI’m sorry to say I won’t be going on a book-signing tour for Age of War, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get signed a signed (and dedicated if you wish) copy. Robin has made an online store where a limited number of the books will be sold. Why is the number limited?
Well, a few reasons. First, we don’t want to cause any waves for our publisher with the retail chain. Selling a few books directly won’t have a significant impact on their overall sales. And second, books are heavy and Ro -
Blog postFor those who don't know, all my recent books (those published since 2015) have had hardcover editions, but the original 5 books of Riyria were only produced in trade paperbacks. There were a few hardcovers produced as a book club edition, but they (a) sold out years ago and (b) weren't the best quality. We've finally received agreement from Orbit to buy the rights to do a hardcover edition on our own (yeah, it's odd to pay someone for the right to publish books I wrote, but that's the nat

Blog postHey all, sorry I meant to make a "page" and I instead created a "blog post." Doh! For those who want to pre-order Age of War directly from me, I can send you a link where we are offering a limited number of signed copies. I'm keeping the link to just members of the "Dark Room" at the moment (our secret/private Goodreads Group). If you want an invite to it, send me an email with the subject "Dark Room Invite"

Hey all, Robin and Sarah spent the weekend organizing our new shipping department in the carriage house we built out in the valley. In doing so, we now have all our books organized and categorized. For those who have been asking about first printing and first edition copies...no, we don't have any Age of Myth left. The only copies we have here are 4th printing ;-(.

Blog postPeople often email me asking for advice about writing. I answer the questions directly, but as I do receive similar questions, it makes sense to post some of them in the hopes of helping other authors, published or aspiring. Here is a paraphrased question I received recently:I'm struggling with writing fiction. I find planning a book extremely difficult let alone a series of them. I have abandoned more than a few projects in the past, frustrated that I couldn't come up with good enough plo

Blog postThank you Del Rey for putting the ebook of Age of Myth on sale. This is making now a perfect opportunity to jump into the Legends of the First Empire, especially given that book #3 (Age of War) is just a few months from releasing. If you haven't picked up the deal yet, you need to hurry. It'll go back to $9.99 in just three days.
And thanks to the thousands of people who have already read, and loved the books. I can't wait until you get Age of War, and I'm anxious to see what y -

Blog postAge of War (coming July 3rd) is just a few months away, and to entice readers into the series, Del Rey has lowered the price of Age of Myth to just $2.99. That's 66% off the regular $9.99 regular price. I think if you've enjoyed the Riyria tales, you will like the Legends of the First Empire as well. I'm not sure how long the book will be on sale, I actually just stumbled over it today, but if you've not tried the new series set 3,000 years before the events of Riyria, now is a perfec

Blog postAs part of their "First in Series Sale" Audible.com has Theft of Swords on sale for just $6.95. If you haven't started listening to Riyria on audio, this is an excellent chance to give it a try. This volume is an omnibus and so you will receive two full-length novels (The Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha) for less than $3.50 each. But you have to hurry the sale ends 11:59 PM tomorrow (Sunday)!

Blog postOn Sunday, Robin and I returned from a little vacation in the Caribbean (St. John was hit last year by two massive hurricanes - one direct hit from a Cat 5 and a glancing blow from a Cat 4 but it's "back" and we couldn't wait to go visit it again).
While we were there, we were busily reviewing the printer proofs for Age of War (more on that soon). In addition, we had the recording of Age of War (yes, Tim Gerard Reynolds will once again be doing the narration) line up. &nbs -
Blog postI can't believe I missed an anniversary!! Luckily it wasn't with Robin, or I'd be sleeping out in the cold. I recently looked back to see when I started my blog and low and behold it was January 9th, 2009, so this post is one month late.
Before I was published, or actually just after, no one would listen to my advice or comments on publishing. I didn't blame them because, well, what did I know? More recently, aspiring or newly-minted authors still refuse my advice, but for a differ -
Blog postI just heard from my publisher that Age of War is going to be moved from April 17th, to July 3rd. I’m sorry about this slip, but in the grand scheme of “late releases 75 days isn’t that bad.
Why did this happen? Well a few things.
When we received the copyedited book, there were a few little things that needed correcting. Nothing major…it’s not like I had to add or remove entire chapters, but there were some things that Robin pointed out and as it was our last chance to make -
Blog postIf you've been looking for copies of the hardcover edition of The Death of Dulgath on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite bookstore, you may have noticed it's out of stock. That's because the warehouses are bare and all that's left is a few boxes I have at my house. Our original print run for the books was 5,000 regular hardcovers and 500 limited edition versions, and when these are gone, there won't be no more printed. Here's what the covers look like:

Here are some of the changes:Added The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter: Previously you could only order this title from a "special site," but now you can get copies directly from our store.

Blog postAfter so many years of singing the praises of Tim Gerard Reynolds (and dedicating one of my most recent books to him), I'm sure most people who know me are already aware that I'm in awe (and constant appreciation) for his talent. So when Audible.com asked me to pick three books to highlight on their "Front Table," of course I was going to make Tim's narrations my unifying theme.
So, if you've only experience Tim's work through my books, maybe check out some of his other int -
Blog postThere certainly is a sense of pride when being an editor's pick, or hitting a Best-of or Most-anticipated list for a blog site. It shows that people "in the industry" appreciated your work and that you are putting out a quality product. But I must say that making one of the reader's favorites is even sweeter. After all, it's the readers who support the books, and it's the readers who will give a book it's wings (by telling all their friends and family that they MUST read it).

Blog postFantasy Book Critic has hit their 10-year anniversary. Oh how time flies! What started out as a hobby by Robert Thompson has become one of the biggest blogs for fantasy fans working tirelessly to introduce fantasy readers to great books by fantasy authors new and well-established. I've said many times that the early support of bloggers and Goodreads has been paramount in my career, and I'm thrilled that they posted a guest post by me to celebrate. So far there are 5 posts in their annivers

Blog postHey all, Robin here. For those that don't know I'm Michael's wife and the "go to woman" for shipping Michael's books. I'm getting swamped with emails about shipment of pre-ordered copies of The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter, so I thought I would take over Michael's blog and post and provide an update.
First, the easy things. ebooks and audio versions went live on December 5th. You can get your audio version exclusively from Audible.com. Due to a non-compete claus -
Blog postAs reported by the New York Times, The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter hit the Top 10 Bestselling Audiobooks. To be honest, I didn't think we'd make it this time around as there were a number of highly anticipated releases to come out on the same day, but we snuck on in the 8th spot. Since the release of The Death of Dulgath in December 2015, we've had the following books hit that prestigious list:#9 - The Death of Dulgath week ending December 18, 2015#1 - Age of

Blog post2017 has been an exceptional year for audiobook releases, and as the year winds down Audible's editors picked their final batch of best-of titles.
I'm honored to have The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter make the cut. I think this is the first time one of my books has been an editor's choice (although several titles have been awarded Listener's Favorites and Age of Myth was a finalist for Best Book of the Year in 2016). Here's what the editor had to say about the book.

Blog postA lot of people have asked me the following question in one way or another.
Since you wrote the whole series before the first book was published, and Age of Myth is now out. What are you doing now?
It’s a reasonable question. The answer is I’m working on edits to the last book.
But I thought you wrote the whole series already? What gives?
Well, there is a huge difference between written and finished. So let me explain the process and where I am.
-
Blog postOne of my goals before the release of the new series was to get my act together and join multiple websites into one place. Seeing as how I have less than 48 hours before Age of Myth hits the street, that’s not going to happen. It’s just one of the reasons why this blog gets so little of my attention while the older “Riyria blog” contains a lot of stuff that really is about the new series, The Legends of the First Empire.
Why am I bringing this up here? Well I spent a good -
Blog postHey everyone, I’ve already announced this on my Riyria blog, so this may be a repeat to some. But I’m pleased to officially announce the Age of Myth pre-order bonus program! t In case you aren’t familiar with it, here’s the deal.
Pre-ordering a book shows your early support and provides a host of benefits for authors such as:

Blog postWow, I can’t believe how long it has been since I posted here. I really need to get my three separate sites combined to one…but that’s a topic for another day. For now, I wanted to post some recent events concerning Hollow World.
First, I was honored to have Hollow World nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award!
It didn’t win, and congratulations to Andy Weir who did. Truly it was an honor just to be included.
The second thing I wanted to mention is that beca -
Blog postYesterday I mentioned (on my Riyria blogsite) that audible added Hollow World to their Spring Preview 2014: The Best New Sci-Fi & Fantasy. That in and of itself is a great honor and enough to make me walking around on a high all day. My email tends to be a bit of an excavation site and as such I miss some emails, so when I found this in my inbox, the news got even better because Hollow World got even more exposure.
It’s somewhat ironic, as when -
Blog postIt’s been a while since I’ve posted, mainly because I’ve been very busy. But I should note that everything is on schedule for the April 15th release. The printed books are on the press and the full cover is show here:
I also announced a pre-order campaign that will, among other things, get people copies of the book a month before its official release. Here is a full list of perks for those that pre-order:

Blog postIt’s now exactly three months until Hollow World will be officially released. How can time travel so fast and so so slow simultaneously? And yes and that was my lame attempt at time-travel humor…given Hollow World’s premise it seemed lie that was worth going for.
A lot is going on.
Early reviews continue to come in from both bloggers and readers. If you are one of the people who got Hollow World early, please consider leaving a review on Amazon or&nbs -
Blog postWell it looks like we finally got Amazon fixed and you can now once again pre-order Hollow World. The broken page with the old ISBN is gone, and I’m hoping the pre-orders to the old version has (or will) move over to it. When checking out the page it was nice to see that the book is making the Time Travel Bestseller list:
It looks nice sitting next to Ian TreGillis’s books:
I took the screen shots as I expect it to disappear from this list pretty quickly -
Blog postIt’s still 131 days until the release of Hollow World, but four lucky people will be mailed signed limited-edition hardcovers tomorrow. This means you have a chance to join the nearly one thousand people who are already reading the novel (because they participated in the Kickstarter). The Kickstarter backers paid $75 for these editions, and as there are only 250 of them in existence, the books will become collector items. Here’s a bit of information for those just being introduced to the

Blog postI’ve received some emails from people who are trying to pre-order Hollow World and having difficulty doing so. When going to the page on Amazon they are presented with:
First off, thanks so much for pre-ordering as this will really help with the launch of the product. Secondly, there has been a glitch that has required a change in the ISBN – as such the old pages are being replaced with new ones. It’s going to take awhile to populate the pages throughout, but I’ll be back and up -
Blog postAdvanced reading copies have gone out to a number of reviewers and I couldn’t be happier with what they have been saying about the book. What have they said? Well here are some choice comments:
“I’m happy to report that not only does Hollow World establish Sullivan as a force to be reckoned with in any genre he chooses to ply his talent to, it also is a prime example of one of the reasons speculative fiction is so important.” — Matt Gilliard (52 Reviews) “This book made m -
Blog postOne of the truly great things about doing the Kickstarter was getting hardcover copies. So far my books have only been released in trade paperbacks, and while I love the format, it’s just not as cool as hardcovers. Especially Limited Edition Hardcovers.
Not all of the 250 copies of the Hollow World hardcover were sold as part of the Kickstarter, so with Christmas coming I thought it made sense to do a giveaway. I’m having a raffle for 4 copies of these really beautiful books in two di
