Hi,Do you have any other projects in mind? Have you always wanted to an author? Thank you ( I prefer Malice to GOT)

Hi Charlie. Great questions. Yes, I do have some other projects in mind. At the moment I'm working on the edits of book 3 - Ruin, writing book 4 and hammering new ideas that seem determined to flood my mind into some kind of shape.
When I was at school being an author was always my idea of 'dream job.' While other children were day-dreaming about being astronauts or racing car drivers I imagined that I was a writer/creator of worlds! I never took it seriously, though, never thought I was capable of actually doing it. At least, not for a very long time. I didn't start writing until my mid-thirties, and my first attempt at writing was Malice.
Thanks for your kind words - I'm a big Game of Thrones fan, so that means a lot. Now, if I could just get another 10% of George's fans to agree with you… :)

Hello, Mr. Gwynne. I'm a professional translator (and a fantasy addict to boot) and I'm translating Ruin right now. I love the book, which is bringing me back to the epic fantasy I used to translate in the Eighties (David Gemmell and David Eddings, among others). Being a pet lover (I had a Belgian Shepherd I adored and right now I'm proud to be owned by 12 cats, I wanted to ask you... does Storm really die?
