A Goodreads user asked Nicholas Eames:

Nicholas, just wanted to say that Kings of the Wyld was one of the most enjoyable fantasy books I've read in a while. I loved the band analogy with different groups. Was wondering if you'd given thought to who each character was as a member of the band. Seems to me that it would be Gabe - Singer Frontman, Ganalon as the lead guitarist, Clay as the Bassist, Matric as the drummer, and Moog as the quirky keyboardist?

Nicholas Eames Hi! Thanks for saying so! I HAVE given it thought, yeah. I actually think it might be in the interview I did in the back of the book (in the US version, anyway). You actually have it exactly right. While writing the scene where Matrick takes on Larkspur's monks I put a live version of Led Zeppelin's 'Moby Dick' (basically a 20 minute long guitar solo) on repeat and tried to use words that captured the feel of drumming.

Thanks again for reading my stuff!

Brayden asked Nicholas Eames:

Hey there Mr. Eames! I have a question(s) regarding books, and some miscellaneous questions I guess.. How long does it take to write a book, and got any tips on how to write a fantasy type book? And now I guess the miscellaneous question: Do you play Super Smash Bros. and if you do, who do you play as the most?

Esme

Esme asked Nicholas Eames:

Hello! This will sound like a silly question - but how old are your main protagonists? There's an r/fantasy challenge going on that's a Bingo of sorts. One of the squares is "Getting Too Old for this Crap" Where the main character or one of them has to be over 50, anyone from your book qualify?
