Hello T.S. Church, may i start of by praising your first runescape novel - Betrayal at Falador - it was a great book that i read in 4 days. I am well into reading your second book but I have a question:
Are you going to write anyother runescape novels?
Thanks and good luck in the future

Hello again Mr. T.S. Church. My last set of questions to you were less serious than these questions will be. I do want to thank you for answering the last set of questions. I also want to thank you in advance for answering most, if not all, of the questions that all runescape players have.
Now that the formal introduction is done, on to the questions!
1. I have taken Advance Composition in college recently, and I was wondering, did you have to have a degree to be able to get your books published?
2. If you did not have a degree, did you take any classes to help you to be able to write better?
3. How hard or easy can it be to get a book published?
4. How were you able to get your books to become official RuneScape books?
5. I know you had to invest some time in order to write these books, but did you have to invest some hard-earned gps (cash) to get things started?
6. If you had to invest some gps, what might be the range in order to get a project successively started and completed?
7. Did you based your book, "Return to Canifis," on RuneScape's quests revolving around Canifis, Mort Myre, etc.?
8. What inspired you to become a writer?
9. What are your favorite novels of all time? ...Mine are the "Dune" series, read every single one, including the ones written by the original author's son and his friend.
10. Are you planning to have someone to write with you for your future novels such as a friend, family member, or another author?
11. Last but almost certainly not least, how might someone write a novel that has a very in-depth story?
Thanks again for doing these Q&A's, even though Jagex might have forced you to :P

Two questions for you!
First: What inspired you to start writing? Alongside that, what prompted you to write a Runescape novel?
Secondly: In the book, a "Society of Owls" are mentioned. Where did you get that idea of the hidden marks from, and do you think the developers in the game could possibly use them in the future?
Thanks in advance!

As said on the first page, I would REALLY appreciate it if you made a hardcover version. The first book in hardcover and the second in softcover just...ruins the collection.

Hey,
I'm a bit confused as to what happened between the paper and hardback versions of betrayal at falador. I brought betrayal at falador when it came out from the Jagex store and got the hardback. I thought that was the official one, it is isn't it? But now I can't find it on the store, has it been discontinued and the paperback version on amazon etc is now the official one? I'm confused, please explain. Thanks.

Hello Mr. Church;
From the little I've read of your books, your writing seems to contradict some of our in-game sources. I understand scale theory, but nonetheless, I am led to the question: can we consider your work canon lore?
Thank you,
Freolin
