Is there any more news on the possible release of HB versions of the Original Riyria?
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Felix, Thanks for asking. It WILL happen, we just are trying to get the deal adjusted. Our plan was to offer both Rare and Limited editions. The rare would match the rare edition of The Death of Dulgath - covers in faux leather, and using a slipcase. The limited edition would be a larger press run (but still limited and numbered). It would mirror the limited edition of The Death of Dulgath (linen cover with a 4-color dust jacket.
When we go the contracts from Orbit, it had only one version. What we weren't sure is whether it was a matter of they didn't understand the request, or they were saying no to the original concept, and this was all they were offering.
The contract person changed recently so we are dealing with some one new. The first email with them was just a few days ago and publishing closes down between Christmas and the New Year so we won't know anything right away. But one way or the other we will have "something."
For those who are interested in in signing up to be notified with the hardcovers are available, here is a link for that.

Do you have an ending in mind when you start a book and write backwards or do you write as it comes to you?

Hey Michael! I have a question regarding you being an author and your writing technique. I just wanted to ask about how you form outlines for your work or what you write before you actually start writing your novels. When you first get an idea for a story or a character or a world, what do you usually do? Also I love your books and am excited to catch up on the legends of the first empire series!

Hello michael, I am a new fan of yours and greetings from Chile. I read your 2 books that are in Spanish (The Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha) and I loved them, the problem is that nothing has been translated into Spanish since 2012. The question is if you know if the publisher will translate it at some time ?. I would love to finish Revelations and start Chronicles and The Legends of the First Empire. Cheers
