To say I got a bit obsessed with your books could well be a bit of an understatement - stumbled upon Traitor's Blade a month ago and now have torn through the entire Greatcoat and Spellslinger series. Is it strange to thank you for giving me self induced sleep deprivation cos I kept reading way past bedtime? Will we ever find out what's going to happen with Kellen's shadowblack, now we know how it came about?

(view spoiler)[Hi Natalie!
Glad you've enjoyed the books and apologies for the sleep-deprivation they caused!
For the time being Kellen's shadowblack has settled down now that he understands better how it works and that the horrible visions he used to suffer were caused by him resisting his enigmatism. However since shadowblack markings are portals to other etheric plains, there are many dangers to having them, not least of which is that other beings might choose to communicate with him the same way his grandmother did . . .
More to come in future! (hide spoiler)]

just curious, but why does the spelling of Dari's name change from Dariana in Knight's Shadow to Darriana in Saint's Blood? It's not a major issue for me, just something I noticed as I read it the second time (I just got it this past weekend a. a side question to add: how do you come up with good names that go so well with the time period? I can never find a good name for the time period I want to set my characters in

Just finished Tyrant's Throne and have had a great time with the Greatcoat series! I've been curious for a while and wonder if you'd be willing to share with us all the King's Laws? We get a few of them throughout the series, but I don't believe we've ever got them all! If you aren't willing to give us all of them yet, could you at least tell us as many as you are able that haven't already been mentioned in the books?
