Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I recently finished Traitor's Blade, and I was just wondering, if I were to send in fan art, what would he the best way to do it (Instagram, Twitter, email, etc.)? On a related note, I was having trouble finding descriptions of what Kest and Falcio look like. I have a specific way I picture them, but I was wondering how you picture them, or where in the book you describe them.

Not a stupid question at all – I'm tremendously honoured anytime someone makes fan art. I'm going to be putting up a fan art section on my website sometime in the new year, but of course it's more than fine to post your work on Instagram, Twitter, or anywhere else you choose. If you tag it with my name I'm more likely to see it. If there's something specific you want me to see, send me a link on the contact form on my site.
As to Kest and Falcio, they're never described in the books, which was intentional. I wanted the reader to be able to create Falcio in their own minds. Oddly, everyone I meet tells me they know what he looks like. If it's any help, the figure on the cover of Traitor's Blade actually looks like what I generally imagined Kest to look like, and the figure next to Ethalia on the cover of Saint's Blood is Falcio, though he looks a bit young an un-bedraggled to me in that image.

Hi! A while back, you mentioned a book shop in London that sold a lot of special editions and signed books, including yours. I seem to recall that it was fairly close to Covent Garden, but now I can find neither the shop nor the place where you mentioned it. If the store is still around and I didn't imagine this whole thing, is there any chance you could let me know the name? I would love to drop by!

Hi there! Just wanted to know, I probably missed it and haven’t searched hard enough, or maybe it’s not known yet, but do you have a release date or an estimate release date for book 5 of your spellslinger series? (Also, if there is a book 5, what colour will the cover be? I thought it might be a yellow or purple this time!) I’ve had a load of fun reading this series and have fallen in love with the characters! Thanks
