Do you read nonfiction, hard-cover books? Any recently? Old stuff ever? What were your favorite classes in school? Thanks.
Michael J. Sullivan
I read all kinds of things...and quite a bit of it is nonfiction. In fact, one of my favorite authors is non-fiction (Bill Bryson -- everything that man has written is well worth a read). I also read a lot of non-fiction for research purposes...and I'm a bit of a history buff.
As for formats...I read them all! I have quite an extensive hardcover collection, although there are many books I have only in ebook form...which I like because I can adjust the font, which means I don't have to have my reading glasses on.
My most recent non-fiction is the one I'm reading now - It's called "The Big Year" and it's about a birding competition. There was a pretty good movie made from it, but I doubt many people saw it.
In school I enjoyed history, astronomy, and of course, creative writing. I also took quite a few art courses, and I was good enough in that to get a scholarship to the Center for Creative Arts - which is a pretty prestigious art school in Detroit Michigan. I ended up dropping out...but I still do art to this day. I'm working on an oil painting right now.

Just finished the series! One thing that bothered me, though. At the beginning of Theft of Swords, we learn Riyria has been together 12 years. Fast forward to Rise of Empire, even further to Heir of Novron, and we still hear both Royce and Hadrian say they’ve been together 12 years, when we can tell that several years have passed in each volume. For continuity’s sake, shouldn’t this be 15-16 years by the end of HoN?

Dear Michael, I am currently reading Age of Death (of The Legends of the First Empire) and I am loving it. I can't wait to find out what happens next but I also don't want to finish the series. I remember you wrote a blog about the "soundtracks" of The Riyria Revelations. Do you have a special playlist for The Legends of the First Empire that you could share with us? Thank you, All the best, Ana
