![]() Those books (written from 2004 – 2008) became my debut series, The Riyria Revelations. My youngest daughter was struggling with reading (she’s dyslexic), so I wrote a fantasy series with her in mind (Lord of the Rings is what ignited my passion for reading and ultimately writing when I was thirteen). My plan was to write something just to please myself and to share with a few friends and family. Over those eight years, a story had been growing in my head and I decided I would write it on just one condition: that I wouldn’t seek publication. Well, never turned out to be almost a decade, as I couldn’t suppress the itch any longer. I wrote in a variety of genres from 1979 to 1994 and after thirteen novels, and more than a hundred rejections, I quit…vowing never to write creatively again. Like many, too many, my road to becoming an author wasn’t an easy one. ![]() ![]() You see, writing isn’t a career that I felt was within my reach, and I’m eternally grateful to all my readers who have supported me and made that dream possible. To type those words is more than a little surreal. ![]() Sullivan and I’m a New York Times, USA Today, and Washington Post bestselling author. ![]()
