Brilliant books, absolutely loving them! What led you to create the character of Vakov? I hope we see more of him in the future... because that boy is one brooding, long, tall, broad, muscled, alien-infused, multiracial glass of water. :D

Hahaha! I'm delighted that people are seeing Vakov for the handsome stud that he is!
I wanted to create a character who contradictory. Harsh on the outside but mellow and emotional on the inside. Vicious to his enemies but kind to his friends. Confident, but uncertain. Driven by rage, but also by love.
In many ways, he is like me. He isn't me, of course, and I'd be in jail if I did half the things he did (nor do I want to do half the things he does!). I just created a character that spoke to me, and I'm happy to see people responding so favourably to him.
And don't worry, Wolfskin is coming, so you'll be seeing a lot more of him there. :)

Hi Jeremy. I got a signed edition of Stormblood through Goldsboro in the summer of last year (or so). Are you working with any distributors to do signed/limited editions of Blindspace? I had a lot of fun going through Stormblood and hoped to keep the collection of signed editions going for the Common. Thanks!
