It seems that the first book is still pertaining mainly to free content. Will the next book deal with possibly more members content? Such as armor and weapons like dragon, bandos, armadyl, or barrows? I loved the book but it seems like it dealt mainly with things that could be achieved by level 50.

Hi Mr. Church. I have a few questions for you.
The first of which probably relates to how Jagex was thinking of horses were a good idea but never delivered.
1. Will your RuneScape Novel series reveal how horses no longer exist in the current RuneScape world(s) or give a clue of how to make horses exist in RuneScape? I added a "s" because there are hundreds of worlds to play in RuneScape.
Second question deals with your knowledge of RuneScape.
2. Did you even heard of RuneScape before 2007-2008? Also, if you do play RuneScape, what is your RuneScape's account name? (Second question of the second question is rhetorical, unless you actually answer it.)
Third question is whether you are my freind or not in RuneScape.
3. Are you my friend in RuneScape? I mean, I might know your account name and have befriended you, but I do not know your real name? At least, not your real name when you are playing with your character, if you do play at all.
The fourth and final question, or F and F Q, Mr. T.S. and Church.
4. What will you write about next, other than the "Return to Canifis Novel?"
I hope you will answer these questions and I hope to add you as a friend someday in RuneScape, if we are not friends already and you actually do play RuneScape.

Hye dudes, I ahve two questions.
!. how did Jagex decide to publish your book, did you bring a sample to them or what and why is the version I found using the link different than the version I bought. Is it a later revision?

This may sound rather cheesy but...
What inspired you to develop the multiple storylines within Betrayal at Falador? For instance we know the one storyline focuses on Kara and her past in which she tries to discover herself and another storyline is Sulla's rise to control of the Kinshra but they appear like they were written as a continuation of their respective stories.
So, in future would there ever be a pre-Betrayal at Falador book written based on the stories of Sulla when he was a recruited Kinshra and Sir Justrain's investigations on the suspected traitor (Later found out in Betrayal at Falador).
Thanks,
Beau Peep

I'm a 3rd year Creative Writing student at university in south-west London, I have some questions! :)
1 - Do you earn enough from book royalties to live on, or do you have to work a second job as well? If so, what do you do? And do you have any advice for young writers (me) that would love to make a living from publishing our own work but are doomed to a 9-5 job as a journalist because authors don't get wages?
2 - Who approached who to write the novel? Did Jagex approach you with a general story idea and then leave you to develop it, or did you write the whole thing yourself?
3 - Did you play Runescape before writing the novel? Do you play it now?
And one for Jagex:
- Any chance of a job starting in May/June 2011? :P

Hi Mr Church!
Firstly:
I would like to congratulate you on the success of your epic novel, "Betrayal at Falador".
Secondly:
The questions!

1. Along the spine of the book, it is very clearly seen that there is a number 1 in roman numerals...does this imply that you are working on a series?
2. I recall that in one point of the book, the main character must go to taverly from falador. In-game this takes about 25 seconds, but in the book it takes him 2 days!(I think). How did you come up with this figure? I'm not saying that it should be 25 seconds in the book...but what made you write 2 days?

Thank you very much for your time.
