Is there anyway to get hardcover volumes of the Riyria Revealations and the Riyria Chronicles?
Michael J. Sullivan
Yes, and no. This is kinda a long answer. So first, you need to understand that Orbit (the publisher of three of the Riyria Revelations, and the first two Riyria Chronicles), only produced the books in trade paperback format. So, no such hardcovers exist on those, but we published the last two books of the Riyria Chronicles and those WERE produced in hardcover and trade paperback, so you can buy copies of those. Currently, the bookstores are stocking the trade paperback versions, but the hardcovers
are available on our website store.
Now, Orbit DID sell the bookclub rights to their copies, so there were a limited number of bookclub editions of those books (which were in hardcover), but they sold out many years ago. You can sometimes see them for sale on various book marketplace sites.
Lastly, we did buy the rights to produce a limited edition version of the copyrights form Orbit (which will be in hardcovers). Unfortunately, supply for those will be very limited, so I suspect they will sell out immediately. If you want to be notified when they are available there is a sign-up form that an be found here.

Hi Michael, I want to buy your Riyria books with the original covers that I believe your designed. I don't really like the covers of the omnibus books. But the original ones are basically impossible to find. Will the publisher/printer be printing more copies of them at some point? I guess you may not know but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks, Barbara

Before jumping into Age of War, I'm re-reading Age of Swords to make sure I have a fresh memory of what happened in the last book (not that I could forget the ending, I just about cried). But there is something I wanted to ask regarding Roan. She's the ex-slave of Iver. She's the only slave that is mentioned in the village. Were people just okay with Iver owning another person? How prevalent was slavery to the Rhunes?

Michael, what kind of work did you do during your 10 year hiatus? What was life like for you when you decided to get back into writing? Were you getting antsy? Did you have some kind of a transformative breakdown? I know these are personal questions... Whatever you choose to share will be much appreciated.
