Congratulations on the recent Goodreads Choice Award nomination! What will you do if you win?
Michael J. Sullivan
Thanks Cynthia...this is my fourth nomination, and third in a row...it really is an honor just to be nominated...especially since each year my books have been included with some pretty amazing titles. As for what I'll do? Well, I don't think I'll have to worry about that. First, Hollow World came in as part of the write-in process (and I want to thank all those who got it on the ballot). But that means it missed many many votes that occurred in the first round. I don't think I've ever seen a semi-finalist book do well.
Even if that weren't the case, I'm still a relatively "new kid on the block" and slowly but surely building an audience for my work. When stacked up against authors that are have sold millions I don't have a chance.
Thanks for asking...and I truly mean it when I say it's an honor just to be nominated...I don't need (or expect) anything more than that.

Hi Michael. Just a quick question. I've gotten a lot of your books through your own store. Was curious about the plans for Nolan's release. Will you do a kickstarter? Or will you use a vendor like Grim Oak for signed first editions? I know some retailers have the trade hardcover for preorder but was curious about any limited or signed editions. Thanks!

That is so insightful. Now for the hard ones....Dragonlance by Weis and Hickman? Influential or not? Now I have to know....is Beatrice, even remotely based upon anyone you know? (your wife?) Do you identify with any one of your characters over another (please don't say Nyphron!) Thank you for the replies and your stories. Love your wife's thoughts at the end. So, so cool! Hooked.
