V3: Back Matter - About the Author


MICHAEL J. SULLIVAN is a New York Times, USA Today, and Washington Post bestselling author who has been nominated for nine Goodreads Choice Awards. His first novel, The Crown Conspiracy, was released by Aspirations Media Inc. in October of 2008. Michael has been published by the fantasy imprints of Penguin Random House (Del Rey) and Hachette Book Group (Orbit). He has also been a pioneer in the indie publishing movement. As of 2024, Michael has released twenty-one novels (twenty set in his fictional world of Elan, and one standalone sci-fi thriller: Hollow World). His series include:

The Riyria Revelations: 6 books – completed

The Riyria Chronicles: 5 books – ongoing

The Legends of the First Empire: 6 books – completed

The Rise and Fall: 3 books – completed

These days, Michael has returned to his indie roots while still providing his novels through retail bookstores. Each novel is launched via Kickstarter (thirteen projects and counting), where his campaigns are among the most-backed and highest-funded fiction projects. Doing so provides his most-ardent fans with unparalleled author access, deluxe limited-edition hardcovers, exclusive perks, and the ability to read the story months before its official release. Michael always enjoys hearing from readers, and you can email him at [email protected]. He is currently working on a new series tentatively titled The Cycle.
