John Gwynne Hi Samuel,

It's great to hear from you.
It might sound callous, but I'm so pleased to hear that I made you cry. :) Sorry. Moving a reader emotionally is the Holy Grail to many writers, so to hear that a scene in Wrath has brought you to tears has really made my day :) Family and friendships are very important to me, and are a thread you'll find running through all of my writing, so the scene you're talking about was an important one to me. I'm honoured to hear that you've enjoyed the books so much, and really appreciate you taking the time to let me know.

Regarding chasing the dragon, if you'd like to go back to the Banished Lands, you can. I'm writing a new series called Of Blood and Bone. Book 1, A Time of Dread, is finished and has been recently published. It is set in the Banished Lands, taking place 130 years after the events of Wrath. So, a new story and a new cast of characters, mostly...
Also, I've written a short story about Corban and the gang, set a few years after the end of Wrath. It's called The Greatest Battle, and you can find it in the anthology The Art of War.
I hope that helps, and thank you for taking the time to message.
Truth and Courage,
John
