Don't miss Nolyn in the Audible BOGO Sale!

Hey all, Robin here. I want to first thank everyone who has been commenting about our new feature Sullivan's Spoils. The first episode has been received very well - and I'm all preparing episode 2.

Right now a lot of our efforts are going to "The Cycle, a project that I'ms sure will be Michael's biggest and best work yet.  But IT IS ONLY for those who have read all 20 books in the Elan Universe. If you skip Riyria, or Legens, or Rise and Fall, then you absolutely should skip "The Cycle" - because it's ONLY designed for die-hard fans and it will make little to no sense to those who try to read it without the pre-requisites.

Luckily, Audible is going to help those who have missed the Rise and Fall series, as they put Book #1, Nolyn, in one of their huge promotions - Buy One Get One Free Sale.  And if you've read Legends, then you absolutely won't want to miss Farilane. Both Michael and I think it's his best single work ever, especially for those who read Legends first.

There are a lot of good titles in the sale, and I thought I should give you some other choices for your "other credit pick. So here goes:

Title	Author	Rating	# ratings
Nolyn	Michael J. Sullivan.	4.6	6,771
The Princess of Potential	delemhach	4.8	631
Bastion	Phil Tucker	4.7	3,318
Circe	Madeline Miller	4.7	55,327
The Wizard's Butler	Nathan Lowell	4.7	8,395
Dawn of Wonder	Johnathan Renshaw	4.7	42,418

• Nolyn is the first book in the Rise and Fall series and it follows the events directly after the end of the Legends of the First Empire series. 
  
  
• The Princess of Potential is a standalone book set in The House Witch series. It's written by delemhach, someone we feel so strongly about that Robin took the time to run her Kickstarter and we have helped her self-publish her next serie The Ether Witch. It's cozy fantasy filled with humor and a touch of romance.
  
  
• Bastion is the most popular book written by Phil Tucker, a great friend of ours who is doing very well, the rating and number of reviews speak for itself.
  
  
• Circe is one of Michael's favorite books, so an easy pick for a recommendation
  
  
• The Wizard's Butler, is written by another fellow author friend from very far back in the day when Michael self published. Nathan is a tremendous writer, and a damn fine narrator - he actually did the first audio narration of The Crown Conspiracy back in the day. His Tales of the Solar Clipper series is fabulous "slice of life" science fiction with an easy flowing writing style and great characters. We've not read Wizard's Butler but we are picking it up as part of the sale.
  
  
• Dawn of Wonder is read by our narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds. I listened to it and found it to be a darn fine tale, so big thumbs up from me, and it looks like I'm not alone in that opinion.

So, if you want to pick up these, or any of the 100 other titles that are part of the sale, head on over to Audible but be quick. The sale ends April 11, 2025 at 11:49 PM PT.  I hope you grab a few - they are a steal at twice the price!

Sullivan Spoils - Season 1 Episode 1 is launched!

Hey all, Robin here. It's finally begun! The first episode of Sullivan's Spoils has launched. The plan is to do one or two a week.  Check it out! Just in time for my 63rd birthday!

Drumindor books are in - Kickstarter orders shipped - buy direct from our store is now open

On Monday March 24th, we received 20 pallets of Drumindor books and on Thursday April 3rd, a USPS truck with 11 pallets consisting of 2,419 orders left our warehouse. 

For those who don't know, publishing works on a quarterly sales cycle that has certain calendar cutoffs. Based on it's print date, this title was slated for the fall 2025 sales calendar, and the earliest a book in that quarter can go live in the retail chain is August. Tuesdays are always release days in the book business, so we made Drumindor's book release date August 5th. So, from now until then, pre-order pages are up, and the more pre-orders we get, the sales reps will work harder to convince the buyers at the various retail sites to make their first order a high number. 

If you want to pre-order, here are some links you can use:  Amazon |  Barnes and Noble | Books-a-Millon | !ndigo | Waterstones | Powells | Wallmart | Target | Blackwells | Foyles | IndieBound | Bookshop.org | Canadian Indie Bookstores | Thalia |  Beter World Books.

Oh, and if you use a libary, they take book request from patrons seriously and usually they have an online form for submitting book requests. So it would be greatly appreciated if you would ask them to add a copy of Drumindor to their collection.  Use ISBN 978-1943363711 when making a request. 

I've also modified our own online store to take orders for both editions of Drumindor and you can only purchase the deluxe edition directly from us. Buying direct has several advantages:

• You can get your copy now instead of waiting for August
• The books will come signed
• A much higher % of the money you pay stays with me by cutting out the middle men

At this time, we ONLY have hardcovers for book #5 (Drumindor). The other four books of the Riyria Chronicles are on the press now, and we expect them to be ready to ship to us by the end of May.  Generally speaking, it takes 7 - 8 weeks for the books to arrive at our warehouse in Virginia, so we expect to have them around the end of July.  We have also provided pre-ordering for these books, but you won't be charged until they arrive and are ready to ship.

It's been a long time coming, but we are thrilled to finally have these beautiful editions available. I hope you'll pick up a copy as they are sure to be a great additon to any shelf.
