Kolten asked Mark Lawrence:

How do you pronounce Jorg?

Mark Lawrence I pronounce it like it's spelled. Like Bjorn Borg, or The Borg, but with a J. J, for jug, org as in the .org domain.

It was originally Jorge (like George) but Americans pronounce that as Hoor-Hey, so I lost the 'e'.

In the US audio book they say Jorg as I would (because they asked me).
In the UK audio book they say Yorg (they didn't ask me).

If I had wanted people to say a Y at the front ... I would have put a Y at the front :D

Have you read, or were you influenced, by the Flashman novels in creating Prince Jalan's character ? I read and enjoyed all of the Flashman books, as I have the Jalan books I should add :-), and see lots of similarities in the dashing, bluff coward who somehow comes out as the hero so was curious. Thanks

Brad Justice asked Mark Lawrence:

With Red Sister being a departure from the Broken Empire series, did you do much world-building? I know you have mentioned that you do not do much revising and drafting when you write, so was curious if you had the same approach regarding world-building (assuming this is not a spoiler and/or is a secondary world).

RE: Here is an interesting 13 minute talk on 'Evil' Heroes. If you have the time to spare, I would love to hear your immediate thoughts on this talk. As a person whom I consider experienced in the subject matter, could you perhaps say a word or two on what you might have added or changed to this?
