Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I recently finished Traitor's Blade, and I was just wondering, if I were to send in fan art, what would he the best way to do it (Instagram, Twitter, email, etc.)? On a related note, I was having trouble finding descriptions of what Kest and Falcio look like. I have a specific way I picture them, but I was wondering how you picture them, or where in the book you describe them.
Sebastien de Castell
Not a stupid question at all – I'm tremendously honoured anytime someone makes fan art. I'm going to be putting up a fan art section on my website sometime in the new year, but of course it's more than fine to post your work on Instagram, Twitter, or anywhere else you choose. If you tag it with my name I'm more likely to see it. If there's something specific you want me to see, send me a link on the contact form on my site.
As to Kest and Falcio, they're never described in the books, which was intentional. I wanted the reader to be able to create Falcio in their own minds. Oddly, everyone I meet tells me they know what he looks like. If it's any help, the figure on the cover of Traitor's Blade actually looks like what I generally imagined Kest to look like, and the figure next to Ethalia on the cover of Saint's Blood is Falcio, though he looks a bit young an un-bedraggled to me in that image.

After a long time debating whether I should read Traitor's Blade or not, I finally gave in and now I am hooked and can't wait for my copy of Saint's Blood to finally arrive. You sir, are a fantastic writer and I look forward to reading more of your work. I particularly enjoy the dialogues between the greatcoats, especially Brasti and Kest. How do you manage to write characters and flesh them out so completely?

I know you have plans for another series featuring different characters with maybe some walk on parts for our beloved Falcio, Kest, and Brasti. Being a fan of those characters, that is like offering a child a piece of candy but only allowing one lick and then taking it away. Like Michael J Sullivan has done with his Riyria characters, maybe, you could give us some standalone books featuring our favorite Greatcoats?
