It's strange to me that although I have been asked variants of this question several times I have never been asked anything about the longer and more gruesome person torture scene in the following book.
And again, I don't believe I have EVER been asked about the significance of ANY scene other than this one.
The significant has always seemed crystal clear to me. It represents a seminal moment in the childhood of the main character, defining his relationship with his father, his refusal to compromise, and potentially explaining other elements of his personality.
The trilogy is entirely character-driven. The significance of most scenes is to the character rather than the plot.
Was it hard to write? It was emotionally hard and technically easy.

Hi Mark, do you plan to offer "Gunlaw" on Amazon For Kindle, after completing it on Wattpad? Having read your other series, felt pretty sure I'd love Gunlaw. I've only read a small part, and it is Excellent!! Offering this free is wonderful too! But I'd definitely pay to read it on Kindle (pretty please?)

The world of Abeth created for the excellent Book of the Ancestor trilogy interested me. The science fiction origin is briefly touched on, its future seems limited, the arc of the corridor used in the story is limited in extent, there’s action under the ice. With that unexplored potential any plans to use this world in any future stories? With or without the Sisters?
