Hi Michael, Hope this finds you well. Thanks for creating such incredible work, quotes from which are etched on the marrow of my bones. My question is: what music would you recommend reading Riyria stories to (if at all - I appreciate combining music and reading is not for everyone)? Many thanks, Dave Scurlock
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Dave, Thanks for writing and for your very kind words. So, when it comes to the Riyria Revelations, I actually have a "playlist." Many of the songs on it were used as inspiration or just struck me as fitting certain scenes of the series extremely well. Some of the artists from it include Dougie MacLean, Kate Rusby, Coldplay, The Chieftains, Vanessa-Mae, Mary Fahl, Tracy Chapman, Loreena McKennit, Gavin DeGraw, Randy Newman, Dire Straits. So certainly those are artists I would recommend.
The entire playlist is RIDDLED with spoilers, and so I keep it on a "secret and private page on my website because I want to control who sees it. Assuming you have finished all the Riyria Revelation books (Theft of Swords, Rise of Empire, and Heir of Novron), you can go take a peek at it at the link found here . I hope you enjoy it!

Hi. Perhaps you answer this in your other series...but I was wondering why Royce pushed them to go ahead and take the job from Thrace when it went against our expectations for that character? Don't get me wrong, I love that part! But his reasoning was never explained and I was wondering if there was a reason.

Hi Michael!I am doing research for a paper on the worth of an MFA in creative writing and would love your input, if you have time. Do you have an MFA yourself? If so, how do you feel that it helped you. Are there benefits to getting published after earning an MFA? If not, do you feel like you missed anything? How have you developed your writing?Any wise words for others considering a writing path? Thanks! ~Stacee
