Danielle asked Mark Lawrence:

Hi Mark! I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but who are your favorite authors? I really fell in love with Prince of Thorns (have yet to finish the trilogy... oops!) and want to know who/what some of your inspirations are. Keep up the amazing work!

Mark Lawrence :o finish the trilogy!

I'm often a fan of books rather than authors - which is bad because I want people who love some of my books to try others...

My popular tastes include George RR Martin, Stephen King & Robin Hobb.

My more obscure favourites include Josiah Bancroft (Senlin Ascends) & Robert V.S Redick (Master Assassins)

Abdul Malik asked Mark Lawrence:

Hey Mark! I finished 'The Broken Empire trilogy' a short while back and just started the 'Red Queen's War Trilogy'. So far I am just loving how unique you have managed to keep the protagonists. What I want to ask is, what gave you the inspiration to make a character like Jalan after a character like Jorg? Also do you think, at some point, we may get to see the continuation after the ending of your first trilogy?
