Emily Wolenski-Charbeneau
Emily Wolenski-Charbeneau asked Darren Shan:

Out of all the books you've written, do you have a favorite character that you've created? Is there one that is the most like you? Darren from Cirque the Freak would be the obvious guess for this latter question, but I'm curious if that's actually the case.

Nikita
Nikita asked Darren Shan:

Would you ever come to Australia for a book signing? The Saga of Darren Shan and Larten Crepsley have been my favourite books since I was in high school. (I am 27 now!) I am doing a history degree currently and hope to be a writer & illustrator! Your books really helped me through school, so I thankyou for that and hope you do come for a signing in Australia one day! Will make sure I draw a picture for you!

Rachel
Rachel asked Darren Shan:

Hi, I was curious if your books will ever become available on apps such as libby and boundless as ebooks?
