Anirudh asked Mark Lawrence:

What's the most irritating thing about being a writer? (Apart from answering pesky questions like this)

Mark Lawrence Sorry to give a dull answer, but I don't find any of it irritating. Some of it can be a little dull. I've just been sent the proofs for the upcoming expanded Road Brothers. I don't *have* to go through it looking for errors, a professional proofreader at the publisher will do that. But duty compels me to read it through too with an eye for typos. And that's a bit of a chore.

James

James asked Mark Lawrence:

Hello Mr. Lawrence, my question is, have you ever thought of writting a book about the "Builders" and what exactly transpired during the day of the thousand suns? I mean we've heard many stories, during the Broken Empire series, from data ghosts and people with knowledge like Skilfar but it would be good to read the story of how the human race fucked up everything. Cheers!
