Questions:
I'm assuming you play RuneScape, what level are you?
I probably won't buy any of those books, but, it's a good sign of how broad the clan community is. I wonder, and this will sound more nerdy than a book about RuneScape: When do you think Runeopoly or some RuneScape monopoly game will come out. It must just be a matter of time. Sorry for getting off topic. Best of luck on the book, I've heard good things about it.

What was it like creating your own world within the greater RuneScape universe? Did it feel different writing Return to Canifis because you were working within a world you had already created?
Which writing style do you think is better; planning out the entire storyline or freeform writing?
Did creating Betrayal at Falador noticeably change your writing style?
Thanks for writing the RuneScape novels, they're very inspiring.

Hello, I only have one question that I can think of at the moment.
1: When writing a book about a game, did you feel limited on what you could do?

What inspired you to write about speciffically the white knights of falador. I am asking this question because when i started to play runescape and i became a member i was obessed with the white knights, i went out and one of the first things i did was finish the quest Wanted! and then i went and killed all the white knights to become a master white knight, lol sounds harder to do something like that in the book:p

I have a couple of questions here.

1. What made you write about Runescape? And why Runescape?
2.How many books in this series do you think you would like to make before ending the series?
3.When did you start to get into books? Did you just suddenly decide or were you influenced by something? Becasue for me i starting to ge tinto them at the age of 10 or 11, with J.R Tolkiens book "the Hobbit". I didn't understand most of the words, but have since re-read it and now understand it a little more.
4.What made you play runescape? Was it a friend, did you just see it or something else?
5.Whats your favourite shape and flavour of cookie?
Thanks

Hi there. After reading book review by thesixthaxis, I found out that you made Werewolves look like dummies. Werewolves in my opinion are strong creatures of THE DARK! They should be in total control.
My Question:
Why did you make Vampires control Werewolves when they are both equally matched? Is there another myth behind this?

I'm a big fan of the novels! They are so intense! I'm currently finishing Betrayal at Falador and can't wait to read Return to Canifis next!
My question is:
What are you literary inspirations when you write the RuneScape novels? What other authors or writers do you draw inspiration from to write the books?

Thanks!

Dear Mister Church,
I am a huge fan of your books! I absolutely loved Betrayal at Falador, and I'm almost halfway through Return to Canifis. Both novels are absolutely fantastic, and I try my hardest to spread the word about your great writing!
Anyway, I do have some questions

Can you send me signed copies of your books!?
Are you a real person? I haven't seen any pictures of you, so I'm bound to think that you're not merely one person, but a group of people that own RuneScape/love playing RuneScape. Either way, whoever you are, T.S. Church, you're fantastic.
Also, my last question, when you sit down to write, do you start off with an outline? or do you start off just writing what comes to mind and then revise it later?
Thanks so much for looking at my questions
