Dear Mr. Church,
Two questions if you possess the time among the other flurry of questions

First would be what are your inspirations, what drives you as an author? Or even: Who do you look up to (if applicable)?
Second would be, what do you have in plan for the future, or what would you feel most comfortable in writing? This might have been stated earlier, if so I apologize.

I don't have any of the books so I can't comment on the storyline, I'm hoping to pick one up as the release of Betrayal At Falador was brought out when I was absent from RS, but upon my return... most recently finding out about two literature sources from my favorite game has my interest indeed! Fantasy is right up my alley, I love the worlds described by authors like Moor****, and my prized JRR Tolkien.
Looking forward to reading your novels [hopefully soon]!

Is it likely that Theodore will ever ask Kara out?

Will there ever be movies based on the books? Like the Fellowship of the ring had, like Harry Potter had...

I have already ordered Return to Canfis and is on its way to my place... cant wait.

my Questions are 1-how many books do you plan to write in the RUNESCAPE series?
2-are you going to add new characters? and I mean main characters like how the main characters in Betrayal At Falador are Kara,Theadore,Gar'rth,Sulla,Jerrod,Castimir,Doric and The Alchemist
P.S.:loved Betrayal At Falador but i won't be able to get Return To Canfis until July because unfourtunately i live in Palestine and they don't deliver here

Being partial to writing myself,
Was the writing process made any easier due to the fact that you were able to place your characters into the Runescape world, and therefore didn't need to craft a world from nothing? I'm not saying you ripped it from the game, as I have not read the books apart from the excerpts, I just know that the locations of both Canifis and Falador are in the same place.

Do you have any ideas about introducing an annoying character following a main character around with 'where is Lumbridge?' or 'Can I have a million pl0x?' Just to make the books more like the game? Only joking of course, well done for a good read and looking forward to the second book

Hello, Mr. Church. I love the books, and I was wondering what inspired you to write them, and what made you pursue in writing?
