Hello James, I've finished your book and I'm absolutely blown away with what you've crafted,I cannot wait for more. A few questions if you don't mind: When will you be releasing the next book? Please tell me you won't be pulling a Rothfuss & make me wait 7 years, or I'm sorry but my Sha'teth friends will be wanting to arrange a deal. Did you write the entire series in one go or one book after another?
James Islington
Cheers! The books are being written and released one-by-one, so (unfortunately) the trilogy's not sitting complete on my computer just yet. The timeline at this stage is to have the sequel out by Christmas next year, but I'm aiming to post progress updates roughly once per month over on my website... so if it turns out I'm absolutely terrible at estimating how fast I can write, at least everyone will be kept in the loop!

I'm fascinated by the idea that you seem to have just decided to become an author one day because you were inspired by Brandon and Patrick. Could you provide us with a bit of a background/biography? How did you find the time to do it? Did you have a writing background before starting your first novel or did you just have a natural gift for telling an amazing story?

Soft Spoilers for: Will of the Many-
In the blurb of the Strength of the few, you mention there being three realms. We probably missed it, but my friends and I only caught evidence for two. Is there evidence we are missing in book 1 of all three realms? Not looking for spoilers, but want to have something i’m looking for when I re-read Will of the Many.

I just started reading the book, and honestly I am very impressed. Not very many books catch my attention and hold it as this one has. One of my favorite questions to ask authors is "What is the origin of this story you are telling?" I like to keep that in mind as I read a book. Do you mind answering that one for me?
