Tenzin Kendrick asked Mark Lawrence:

If you (don't ask how) had a conversation with Jorg, 1, how do you think it would go, and 2, would he end it by brutally murdering you? No criticism of your work, I've read the Broken Empire Trilogy and Price of Fools three times now.

Mark Lawrence Whilst Jorg may occasionally murder the odd critic on a whim, he really isn't a random killer, and so, given that I'm not obstructing his path to power, and I'm not passing judgement on him, I don't think I would be in any danger.

Jorg can certainly be a good conversationalist, so if he could be bothered to waste words on me, I would be entertained.

Gary Nicholas asked Mark Lawrence:

I don't know how this process works and am sure you may have been told this before; but I want to share something I want to see. I was browsing the bookstore just the other day and I happened on several themed Monopoly sets. Two of these sets were based on The Legend of Zelda and another on A Game of Thrones. I have never bought a themed Monopoly game; but I want The Red Queen's War! Can you make it happen, Mark!?

Mark Archer

Mark Archer asked Mark Lawrence:

I read that you don't plan your novels while writing, rather see where the writing itself takes you. Is that correct or do you have at least a loose plan in your head, like a beginning and ending and then make up the road between them? I am curiouse if you believe in traditional fiction models like 3 act structure, rising action, climax, resolution all that sort of stuff or if instinct just takes you all the way?
