Lisa

Lisa asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi Michael, we’ve heard that Hadrian’s mum apparently died when he was young. But we don’t know much more. Are we ever going to learn more about her or meet her (such as in the cycle or chronicles)? I’d also love to see a short story about a younger Haridan the way we did about Royce. Have you considered doing this? Thanks, I hope your having a nice day 😁

Michael J. Sullivan Hey Lisa. I'm being pretty closed mouth about "The Cycle." To date I've not disclosed "how far" down the timeline and "what characters" will be in it.

As for a 'young Hadrian' story - well, I wasn't expectiving to write a "young Royce' until the opportunity arose. In that case, someone needed something for an anthology and given the "theme" of the anthology an early Royce tale just seemed to fit.

I just realized that I'm really not giving you much "help" on answering your question. But in many cases until I cross a fork I don't know which direction I'll take.

I have just finished reading Hollow World and thought it extraordinary particularly for your insights into the intractability of human nature across time. If you are considering a sequel, I'd be most interested in knowing how the Pax character would be developed. Also, can you tell me what some of your stronger influences came to bear on your concept of Hollow World and its inhabitants?
