Do you ever do signings? If you don't is there anyway to get a book(s) signed? or bookplates?
Christopher Golden Sorry I didn't see this before. If you order from Copper Dog Books in Beverly, MA, they can get anything signed and shipped. Thanks!

Hi Chris. Do you know if there are any plans to turn books two and three in the Ben Walker series into Kindle or other eBooks? I've just gone to buy them, and they don't seem to exist in that format.
Christopher Golden I assume you're not in North America. They're available here, but unfortunately no UK publisher picked up the rights. So there are no plans at the moment.

Has anyone ever approached you about turning the Prowlers series in to movies or a tv series? because I would give my arms and legs to see that!
Christopher Golden Hi Michael. There have been conversations but nothing more than that, I'm sad to say.

Hello Mr. Golden; I am a big fan of the Ben Walker series. Will you have a prequel to the books to explain what happened in Guatemala? Do you know what happened in Guatemala? Inquiring minds want to know :) Thank You
Christopher Golden Hi Yael. Thanks for the question. I do know what happened to Ben in Guatemala. I doubt I'll ever write the novel, but my novel THE OCEAN DARK takes place in the same fictional world as the Walker novels and includes some characters from RED HANDS. The events in Guatemala, in my mind, were a sort of sequel to THE OCEAN DARK. So check that one out. :)

Hey Chris, I really enjoyed Ararat, congrats. Will you consider writing a novel with 'old-school' monsters like werewolves?
Christopher Golden Check out my PROWLERS quartet. Not your father's werewolves!
flag
is there another follow up of the Ararat story as i understand this is the first of the Walker series ?
Christopher Golden Thanks Sharon! My novel THE PANDORA ROOM also stars Ben Walker. Also, my older novel THE OCEAN DARK takes place in the same "universe."

Not a question? But a personal thank you note for an awesome novel. Tin Men was amazing. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Christopher Golden Very kind of you. :) I had a blast writing TIN MEN.

Hello, Mr. Golden! I can't find any other way to contact you because the contact form on your site is shut down. Did you know the captcha needs to be updated by an administrator?
Christopher Golden Somehow I missed this one. It should be working now.

I just finished "Tin Men" ... wow. Will you write a sequel?
Christopher Golden No plans at the moment. Thanks so much!

Hi Christopher, I just finished Snowblind. I loved it! That ending! Will there ever be a sequel? Please say yes?
Christopher Golden No specific plans at the moment, but if the film that's currently in development moves forward, you never know!
flag
I loved Snowblind and Ararat, but wondered if maybe the next horror novel would be tropical instead of snow bound? :)
Christopher Golden One of these days, I'd love to do that. For the moment, read THE OCEAN DARK, which I wrote under the name Jack Rogan. It's in the same world as ARARAT and takes place in the Caribbean.
flag
Will we be doing Ben Walker again?
Christopher Golden Yes. You'll see him again in The Pandora Room, next year.
flag
When will the Veil series put back on e-book? It's my favorite books.
Christopher Golden Thanks so much, Lisa. I'm sure they will be back eventually, but I'm not sure when.
flag
thanks for that and i hope so loved the series and the way you wrote it really had me feeling for the characters in the books couldn't put them down so a big THANK YOU for sharing these fantastic stories with me ?
Christopher Golden Thanks for reading!

The only book by Jack Rogan that King County Library System has is The Collective. If I knew the year of publication and the ISBN, I would ask KCLS to get it.?
Christopher Golden The first Rogan book, THE OCEAN DARK, is better. :) I don't have the ISBNs handy, but all of that information is up at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

Hello, in the King of Hell, Peter stays at The Black Hart, specified as being located near Maida Vale, which prompted me to look up that location in London. It turns out there is a pub named The Black Heart there, now is this coincidence or did you perhaps go there?
Christopher Golden Hi Charles! While I've visited a wonderful pub in Maida Vale, The Black Hart is fictional. :) I didn't know The Black Heart existed. :)

Thanks!

will there be any more of the fantastic books of the shadow saga i am on the 5th book at the moment and then 2 left THANK YOU for righting these books i loved them and felt so much for the characters in them loved every min of them and so hope there will be more of them or a spin of at least ?
Christopher Golden For now there are no plans to write more Octavian novels beyond KING OF HELL (book seven). But that can always change. :)
flag
Do you have any more horror novels like SNOWBLIND and DEAD RINGERS coming down the pipeline soon? I really enjoyed them and I need my Christopher Golden fix.
Christopher Golden The next one to look out for is ARARAT in April, but you can always go backwards as well. If those novels are your favorites, I'd recommend WILDWOOD ROAD, THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN, THE FERRYMAN, and THE OCEAN DARK the most. Thanks!

I have just read Bratva and I LOVED it! I was wondering if there was any chance of you doing anymore Sons spins off novels? Also I think that Everyone would love a Chibs spin off maybe like his life before sons, when he was in the RIRA. Just think that would be an amazing read! P.S please make this happen!! Big Fan Thank you x
Christopher Golden Thanks so much! I haven't heard anything about any future SoA novels, but I had a blast writing Bratva!

Dude... I am completely enthralled with Of Saints and Shadows. I don't know why I hadn't heard of the Shadow Saga sooner. This isn't really a question. Just a HUGE thumbs up. Are you working on anything currently?
Christopher Golden Hi Teri!!!! I'm always working on several things at once. :) Right now I'm doing a fantasy novel with my friend Tim Lebbon for HarperCollins, a horror novella for Earthling Publications, and two continuing comics series for Dark Horse. Thanks so much for the kind words!
