1)What types of media do you look at for inspiration in your writing, and are there any works that have found to be particularly inspiring?
2)Do you have a routine that you follow while writing? (such as writing in a specific location or listening to music)

I bought Betrayal at Falador when it first released and decided to re-read it before starting Return to Canifis. After reading your short biography on the inside flap I noticed that not only was it your first novel but none of your degrees really have anything to do with writing fiction. What made you decide to start writing and how were you selected to write the first RuneScape novel?

When I saw you were releasing a 2nd book about RuneScape I went to Amazon and ordered both for the Kindle for Mac. I am disabled and this is the best medium for me in which to read. However, I do collect signed editions of hardcopy books ;) I have just started reading the first book and when I am not playing the game I am reading. I am enjoying being able to visualize the area. I have been playing RS for many years and am familiar with it.
Besides that, my questions are:
1) Do you follow the layout of the map of RuneScape when writing your books? This must be quite and undertaking considering the popularity of RuneScape.
2) Have you found writing about RuneScape to be difficult or pleasurable? And could you elaborate on either?
Thank you for your time.

Howdy T.S. I wasnt able to participate in the last Q&A but I am glad that I can in this one. I have a few questions for you sir,
1. Did you have a set schedule writing this book this time? I remember last time in the Q&A for betryal you said you planned to write about 1000 words a day or so.

2. Is this a follow up to betrayal?

3. Are there as many chapters in this book as betrayal?

4. Why would you put so many chapters into one book? I've NEVER seen a writer write so much. Thats just awesome!!!!!

Thanks T.S. Hopefully I look forward to hearing your answers!!

I am pretty sure you have already collected ideas for the next book, but since this year has been announced by Jagex to be the year of clans, have you given a thought about using this theme in the next book?
Great battles where armies with different strategies and commanders with different agendas are always entertaining to read about - at least I think so.
