Hello Nicholas, I'm just looking for some clarification as Kallorek has been described to have both an underbite and an overbite which would make it regular? I'm assuming one of these was meant to be the other and just wanted to know which it was. Judging from how orcs look I would guess that he has an underbite not an overbite but wanted to check. Thanks.

Hi!
Yeah, it's definitely an underbite (whoops!). Back when I first drafted KotW, there were a lot more 'monstrous' characters, and Kallorek was an orc (as opposed to just having it as a nickname). At the advice of a potential agent I changed most of them to humans, but then changed them back when I landed another agent. Kallorek, however, remained human.

Hi Nicholas. Can't wait for Book 3. Had a quick question. I know you have said that you enjoy video games and often times you'll throw in some pop-culture into the prose. In Bloody Rose, there is a musical instrument named "Red Thirteen". I was just curious if this was a nod to the character from FF7? I know you said the FF series was a favorite of yours. (Sorry if asked/answered before.)
