Hey Mark, I love your writing and your works, especially the books set on Abeth. The blend of science fiction and fantasy is fascinating to me. Were there any works (writing or other mediums) that inspired the setting of Abeth or the science fantasy genre-blending?
Mark Lawrence
Hi Ryan - the answer is a boring "no", I'm afraid.
Obviously I'm indirectly influenced by the net effect of all the fantasy and sci-fi I've read over the years. But, no, nothing that I can point at.

Hey Mark. We had a little exchange on Twitter when I polled to see which of your books I should read (having read and enjoyed your sci-fi trilogy). I know you said that your fantasy is 'tinged' with sci-fi, but I'm just curious why you (as a scientist) don't write more sci-fi? Is it because you need escapism from the science or something else? Not a dig, but a genuinely curious.

Mark Lawrence:
As a fan of your work, it took me by surprise when I read that you were collaborating with the narrative of a video game called "Ashen." I can't begrudge you if your involvement is under disclosure, but the fact immensely fascinated me. Are there any hurdles in making a narrative for a video game medium that you've had/expect to overcome? Have you had any previous interest in the medium, personally or professionally?
