Dear Mr. Church, I've read you're book & I was wondering......
1) Why couldn't it be "Betrayal In Kharyll". Doesn't it sound a bit more, spookier? :P !
2) Will you be writing book a sequel? (Hint Hint : Suggestion above)

I have read betrayal at falador some months ago (and now i am reading it again) and it was awesome! Here are my questions:
1. Do you plan to do more RuneScape books (after retutn to Canifis)? And if you do, how many?
2. Can you tell something about story of Return to Canifis?
3. Is it possible that we see some of book characters (Theodore, Sulla, etc.) or some references in RuneScape? (I'm not sure can you answer to this, but i still wanted to ask)

There were all my questions. I hope that Return to Canifis is good as, or better that Betrayal at falador.

Well, I'd like to ask how writers come up with ideas for the TOPIC of books. It's all good saying you have a brainwave and you find some characters and an environment, but how do they come up with the PLOT? For instance, how do writers in detective thrillers (e.g. James Bond) come up with the idea for the crime etc etc?

Hello, Mr. Church!
I am the LOVE your book! I got it; along with a dragon fire t-shirt, for Christmas the year it came out. I still have it, and I have read it many times! It’s so good!
well, this is a Q&A forum, so I’ll get to the point...
I loved your book so much, that I am planning on making a RS movie out of it (and if Jagex could make a BAF movie irl, on DVD, I would totally buy it!) but I just to be sure, do I have your permission to film this movie? Don’t worry, I will give you full credit, and everything, you have my word!
Also, still about the movie, how did you visualize the characters? For the actors, in the movie, what armor would they wear?
Well, that about enough for my movie, but now I got a couple questions about the book...
how did you figure the time in the book? You say it's a 2 day ride from Falador to Taverly, by horse? How do you figure?
Also, you mentioned some places that don't really exist in-game, such as dagger alley, the bedrooms in the white knight's castle, the ward ECT. I do understand the book takes place in the past, but for only 5 years ago? What would these places be? Just acts of your imagination?
What statue would it be, that was damaged in the beginning?
I am sorry if it seems I am criticizing, but when the Monastery is laid in siege, one of the monks says "The nearest point of civilization is the town of Edgevill, a day's travel away." The book takes place in the year 164, and the town was not renovated until 169, correct?
Well, this one isn't criticism, but what exactly is your real name? According to the searches I’ve run, you don't exist! :O
Sorry there are so many questions! Just a couple more!
Do you have an address that we can send fan-mail to?
Uh...I had lots more questions, but I have forgotten most of them... I will post the rest when I remember, sorry...
I really LOVED your book, Mr. Church! Can’t wait for Return to the Canifs to come out! Hope Gar'rth stays with the team!
Thank you, sir!

Hello, Mr. Church.
I have always wondered how writers can WRITE such long books when I can't even READ them, which is a hundred times easier. How did you do it? Did you ever think something like "I've had it! I can't write another word!"? How long did you write the book and how did you plan your time writing the book? Did you "no-life" it, like we like to call it? Thank you for your answer :)

Hi Mr. Church
1)Is the book ever going to be translated?
I wouldn't really mind to read it in English, but It will be easier to get it if it's translated (the local library <-> internet shop)
P.S. My native language is Dutch
2) How did you got the ideas for the names? I mean, Kara-meir isn't an often-used name.
EDIT: I just heard that the explain that name in the book, but still, as there isn't any dwarvish (or the language her name is in) is in the game, you have to get the idea for it.
