Blog postSo, yesterday I finished writing The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter (Book 4: The Riyria Chronicles). But that still means it's far, far from done.

Blog postMy thanks to everyone who picked up Age of Myth while it was on sale on Saturday. I'm pleased to announce that your support made it the #1 Audible Bestseller! Kind of a good feeling being number 1 out of 358,248 books!
It also helped out my author ranking substantially as well:
Usually I'm ranked in the 30's or 40's, which is definitely something to be proud of. Still, it's fun to swim around with the biggest fishes in the business, even if it is only temporary. -
Blog postI'm pleased to announce that for today only, you can get a copy of the audible version of Age of Myth at a special discounted price. This is an excellent opportunity (and great timing as the second book, Age of Swords, will be coming out in just a few months). How deeply discounted? Well, you can get it for just $5.95. That's more than 75% of the regular price and 83% off the member price.
Even better...if you've not heard one of my stories read by the amazing -
Blog postBrandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, Terry Brooks, Peter V. Brett, and even little ole me have some books coming out soon, and if you have a few spare audio credits, you might just want to put one of these on pre-order. Out of the 14 Epic Fantasy titles coming soon, I'm pleased that mine are hitting at #4 an #7 when sorted by best sellers. Here's the complete list, along with links if you want to learn more about any of the titles.

Blog postOne of the nice (and terrible) things about writing is the fact that there is always a new goal to reach, a new milestone that lies just out of reach. It keeps me striving for that next level and each time one is achieved it acts as a benchmark of success to bolster my spirits on the bad days when a harsh review or frustrating day's writing can make me doubt whether I should be doing "this gig" at all.
One of the goals I've had for a long, long time was to hit that allusiv -
Blog postHey all, tax day is over, July is on it's way, and I feel the excitement growing for the Age of Swords release. So let's giveaway some books, shall we?
Robin just launched two Goodreads Giveaways (and opened them up to people from all countries). You can find them here:

Blog postI'm starting to see ARC's (Advanced Reading Copies) in the wild (sent from Del Rey). John Scalzi had a whole stack of early copies and Age of Swords was in it, and I know Amazon Vine reviewers are getting their copies as the first review has come in.
The review starts with:Wow! And I thought Book One was good. I just turned the last page on this second book of the “Legends of the First Empire” series and feel blown away! It’s the best feeling I’ve had when finishing an epic fantasy -

Blog postToday, Amazon has selected a number of best-selling books to put on sale, and Agee of Myth is one of them. It's just $1.99 rather than $9.99 so that's a savings of 80%! This is the first time this book has been discounted and with Age of Swords coming out in just a few months, it's a great time to get started with the series. If you already own Age of Swords, please consider telling a friend about the sale, it's a great deal.

For this matchup Unbound Worlds asked me to write a short story with how I think this encounter would play out. You can read it here, and don't forget to vote!

Blog postIt's official. I'm now a 100% certified hermit. Today at breakfast, Robin asked me if she could schedule some afternoon time this week to go to the "bee store." Apparently the queens will be ready in a few weeks, and she wanted to pick out various supporting "stuff." She thought it would be a "nice drive." I kept trying to convince her to do all that online. I think she's now planning on going by herself...or maybe our dog, Tobi, will go with her.

Blog postI find it odd that I often don't hear about a price reduction on my books until after it happens, but I'm always glad when I do find out. It means a lot of people might be giving my books a try who wouldn't normally do so. Well, now is one of those times.
Thanks to the folks at reddit's /r/fantasy sub I found out that Theft of Swords is on sale for $2.99. I did a bit of digging and it looks like that price is good for all the US ebook retail sites (I didn't check overseas -
Blog postI'm pretty heads-down with writing The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter (Riyria Chronicle #4), but Robin just shot me an email with the cover of the German edition of Age of Myth. It's called Rebellion and it releases April 3, 2017. Just thought I would share.

Blog postI've had a lot of people inquiring when the audio book for Age of Swords is going to be released. I think there is some concern that it'll follow the hardcover and ebook release by some amount of time. I can certainly see why people might think that. After all, the Riyria Revelation audio books weren't on the market until 4 months after their initial release.
The plan has always been to do a simultaneous release for the audiobook, but with no pre-order up, I can see why people would have s -
Blog postToday the premium mass market paperback version of Age of Myth is released.
This means two things:The ebook price has come down. It's now under $10, which is important for those who have the "never above $10 for an ebook" rule.The print copy is much cheaper. Instead of paying $26 for the hardcover you can get the book in print for less than $10. The book is available for sale at bookstores everywhere, and of course you can pick up a copy from my site to get one signed. I al -
Blog postI'm rarely under "deadline" pressure, mostly because I write all the books of a series before publishing the first. Still, even with that process, there are times when I'm "on the clock."
That's a picture of my new clock, custom made for the cabin. I needed to "white out" the address, because I'd have a thousand people camping out on the deck waiting for the next book. Well, okay, maybe not, but it doesn't seem to be a great idea to post one's address o -
Blog postIn just a few days (1/31/17), the Age of Myth premium mass market paperback will start shipping. For those that want print copies (but find that the hardcover prices are beyond their reach), this will mean you can get the book for just $9.99. That's only 38% of the hard cover price -- a savings of 62%!
For those who want signed and/or dedicated copies, you can pre-order them from my store. I buy the copies from the publisher (so they still get their cut), but by cutting out the dist -
Blog postBarnes and Noble picked five series that people should be checking out, and I'm honored that The Riyria Revelations is one of them. Here's something nice they had to say about my books:This is one of my favorite suggestions for fans of Game of Thrones. Riyria has everything you could possibly wish for: the characters are some of the best I’ve ever encountered in fantasy literature, the writing is top notch, and the plotting is so tight you’d be hard-pressed to find a mouse hole in it.
-
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 postEarly in this series (book one in fact) there are some mentions to a legendary figure “The Tetlin Witch” before the series is done you’ll learn the whole story behind her but I thought I would share a little poem from the series because it’s the haunting season after all. I hope you enjoy.
Far beyond the woodland hills, beyond mountains vile,
Hidden in a mist-soaked swamp, upon an awful isle.
She haunts the lapping blackened pools, and creeping ivy ways

Blog postWell, it’s been far too long since I’ve updated this site. I have a pretty good excuse. In order to avoid any competition between my Riyria books and this series, I had to get the third Royce and Hadrian book (The Death of Dulgath) out before the end of the year. Well, that task has been accomplished, and now it’s time to get back to work on this. So here goes.

Blog postOkay, so I did indeed get my second pass editing done for Robin’s birthday, and she has now read the whole story. It was the perfect gift for her. Unfortunately she got a less welcome gift…a trip tot he Heart and Cardiac center with sever chest pain, elevated CK levels, a murmur, and an abnormal EKG.
Now that sounds very bad, and it was really frightening, but the good news is after a week and a half of testing it’s been determined there is no permanent damage and no corrective s -
Blog postYep, I’ve finished the last book of The First Empire – the trilogy that turned into 5 books is now completed. While the editing process still has to be dealt with, that’s nothing compared to getting the story fully fleshed out. All told it took me 772 days to write this. Now I have about 8 days to give it the “once over” before I send it over to Robin for alpha reading. I’ve already incorporated my notes for things I needed to change as I was writing, but I need to loo

Blog postRecently I finished “the big climax” and only had a few little scenes to clean up to be done with the series and I’ve gotten next to nothing done for the last 4 days! All kinds of things are getting in the way…a AMA that I’m still answering questions for. A day when I couldn’t concentrate at all, so I went “out” to try to clear my head. Then I pulled something in my back…reminding me that I’m an old man. So now that I’m right at the finish line I’m not getting ac

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
