Elzbieta Tibai asked Jordan L. Hawk:

I have two questions, actually. 1: Whyborne and Christine remind me of different parts of myself (I'm Christine if I'm angry) were they based off of anyone? 2: What made you decide to put the time period as the late 1800's and early 1900's?

Jordan L. Hawk 1. Though I share traits with both Whyborne and Christine (and every other character I write), they aren't based off anyone in specific. 2. I chose to set Widdershins in 1897 because that's the year I had a reproduction Sears and Roebuck catalog for, which meant I could easily look up middle class clothing styles, toiletries, and furnishings.

Any news on when you'll release another Spectr 2 book? I love the series! Also, how many do you have planned for the series? (asked 8/13/2016)

Brett asked Jordan L. Hawk:

Thanks for your books! I love all of your series, and I'm from east TN, so I love it when you go Appalachian, like in Hainted. My question: Have you read Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody series? I think of Amelia every time I read a good W&G scene with Christine Putnam.

viktoria asked Jordan L. Hawk:

I've been feverently checking (not at all stalking) the various sites for news of the audiobook copy of Unhallowed (Rath & Rune #1), but I haven't seen any news about it, unless I'm just missing it. Are there any plans for it?
