Marie asked Graeme Rodaughan:

When you first sat down to write "A Subtle Agency" did the words come quick and easy or was it a long thought out process to get the story written?

Graeme Rodaughan Hi Marie,

The design process took something like a year and a half. I spent months with pencil and paper brainstorming ideas, defining timelines, concepts, characters and conflicts.

Anton was a vampire for some of that time, and Li Wu and Chiara Romano belonged to a sect of female ninjas.

Of course, the final story turned out differently.

Once I started writing A Subtle Agency, yes the words flowed, but it was on the back of a helluva lot of preparation.
