Thanks for answering my question about characters. You mentioned the characters in The Cycle, which got me curious! Would you say The Cycle has one or two main/lead characters? Or is it more of an ensemble like legends? Thanks!
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Lottie, thanks for asking. By it's vary nature, The Cycle will have a VERY large cast. Basically you may see an appearance by any character from all of the 20 books currently released, so it's very much an ensemble like Legends.
People might wonder how that would be possible - after all the saga takes place over the course of thousands of years and most don't live that long. Well, the answer to that is found in the second half of Legends of the First Empire (books #4 - #6). For those who have read that (or are doing a re-read) pay particular attention to any mention of the Golrok - that will provide a big clue.

Hi Michael! I have a question about purchasing Age of Legend. I pre-ordered it on Amazon, which indicates it's published by Grim Oak and released in July. I read you were self-publishing the final 3 books in the series and also recently came across the kickstarter. Is it too late to back the kickstarter to get a hardcover copy when it's released? If it isn't too late, is that a preferable way to purchase over Amazon?

I have a question about audiobooks. First of all, the big question, how do you feel about audiobooks - do you think they help or hinder book sales? Do you go into a project knowing that it will become an audiobook, if so, do you make any changes in the way you write things with an eye on the audiobook side of it? <

HI! Just a quick question. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate with The Cycle and After the Fall.... and now Riyria Chronicles 6. At one point, if I recall, you had mentioned that you had a total of 8 Riyria Chronicles lined up (I think you said that each slipcase would be for 4 books). In light of all the exciting new projects, have plans for Chronicles changed, or is it still eight total?
