A Goodreads user asked David Dalglish:

Hey Mr. Dalglish Was just curious, with Covid-19 forcing most people to stay home will your near-future publications be quickened or slowed? Are you on track, etc? Basically is Covid-19 having an effect on you or the writing? Thanks

David Dalglish Oh it's absolutely not helping in the slightest. Some of it is practical (my three children are all home now, and require home-schooling programs set up by the school). Some of it is mental (sure, lemme just focus on my silly fantasy world while stuck in quarantine, my friends are posting messages about their illnesses, book stores are closing down for who knows when, etc). And of course, once I do finish it and send it for edits, there's going to be the likely additional delay from my editor's side (who of course is going through similar issues).

After the long, long wait for book 8 I'm still desperately trying to get the book out on time, and focus on getting in my daily writing time. That's all I can really do. Fingers crossed, it'll be enough.

Mehmet Erpirti asked David Dalglish:

Whom does the Wall of Towers belong? I remember that in the Paladins, towers were associated with Mordan, but since it stretches all across the Western Dezrel I can't be sure.

Dre Jarrell

Dre Jarrell asked David Dalglish:

Ever consider movie rights? I know how daunting it must be as you'd want it done correctly. Possibly a series to get more involved with all the awesome characters. For any of the Dezrel tales, Half-Orcs or Shadowdance would be awesome.
