HI there Church!
Me and my mum love your books, we basicallly fight over them!
Anyway, question time! I'll try to keep it breif.
If you want to leave some unaswered so as to not reveal spoilers, that's fine.


1. How much of your books do you plan in advance? Do you set it all out, bit by bit and folow it all the way through, or are you a spur of the moment writer, going where your imagination takes you?
2. What is the biggest obstacle you must overcome as a professional writer.
3. Looking back, is there anything in "Betrayal at Falador" or "Return to Canifis," is there anything you would have changed?
4. What would you say is your favourite moment in either book?
5. Can you give yourself some critique about your books, or do you think their the best you could have managed?


Thankyou for your time!

First of hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my question. my question is, when writing the book, was there ever a feeling of fear(or what ever word you would replace it with) because of the large fan base of runescape? seeing as how there is several million of us, its hard to please us all, and of course, there are those hardcore quest buffs that know more then jagex does about the game!

I am planning to read the book, and I am sure that it will be great!
I want to ask you a question:
1. Where did you get your ideas from?
2. Is it based on Runescape places? :D
I hope to hear answers. *Fingers crossed* ;)
Thank you,

I wanted to ccongratulate T.S. Church, and thank him for the wonderful book (Betrayal at Falador). I'm sure the sequel will be just as good, if not better. :)
As for questions: How much times, if any, do you reference to member content in-game? (I ask this because some may not understand or know the subject at hand if this occurs). Thanks!

Tom,
How many books do you think you will write? Do you think you will you ever work for the Jagex team?
Faithful reader,

Dear Mr Church, Will you be looking into publishing your books in other languages, I would love this opportunity as I loved Betrayal at Falador so much but reading it in another language would be an even better experience
thanks ^_^
