Michael Sullivan
started his writing career at the tender
age of ten. After reading Lord of the Rings, he
decided to craft a similar tale and wrote it on a
manual typewriter found when cleaning out his
sister's closet. Over a span of fifteen years he
wrote thirteen novels, but never made any serious
attempts at publishing. He decided to break into
the writing world with a literary piece finely
crafted after the likes of John Steinbeck and John
Updike. When he failed to get this novel
published, he quit writing for nearly ten
years.
Michael's writing spark was
re-ignited when he started reading Harry Potter
with his dyslexic middle daughter. He fell in love
with the story and decided to write something
"just for fun". The result was his six-book
series the Riyria Revelations.
Michael was born in Detroit
Michigan and has lived in Vermont, North Carolina
and Virginia. He worked as a commercial artist and
illustrator, founding his own advertising agency
in 1996, which he closed in 2005 to pursue writing
full-time. He currently resides in Fairfax,
Virginia with his wife and three children. He is
currently editing book four of the Riyria Series,
keeping to his agressive schedule of releasing one
book every six-months. |
