Hi K.D.! I wanted to know if you have a compendium with physical descriptions of your characters for drawing references? I really enjoyed your books and novellas and have this really strong desire to draw your characters, but I'm also trying not to be influenced by other fan art. I want to draw them like how I imagined but with some details I might have missed. Thanks!

This is actually a very interesting question. There is a Tarot Sequence WIKI out there -- reader-made and reader-updated. It may have descriptions. But for the most part, no, I don't like storing physical character details. The reason is because I LOVE the idea that different readers imagine characters in different ways.
I give you the brush strokes -- such as Brand's blue eyes and black hair. But I like readers having some autonomy in how they imagine them. My head cannons are not necessarily reader head cannons, in other words.
Micah really, really does a wonderful job with Rune on the cover art. There's an alternate cover for the upcoming Eidolon that absolutely captures who I think of the prophet Quinn. Those are two good images.
If you follow me on Twitter (sigh, Twitter), feel free to reach out or DM me. Or contact me through my website. I can give you hints on individual characters if you really want.

Dear KD, how are you? me again. I've finished book 3 and loved it dearly. Brand and Rune are babies. I have some questions? -there's release date for book 4? -are we going to find out some more about rune's sad past, or it's more for our imagination? -do you recommend the short story about baby brand and baby rune? Thanks, and in general, thank you for bringing some light in a harsh world. Idit

Hi! So, I was wondering. In the Last Sun, Quinn asks Rune why he's speaking slowly, as though Quinn doesn't speak English. But then, we have Old Atlantean, and what I assume is New Atlantean, and we're told the humans think Atlantean is the new Klingon. So what are they speaking on the island? English, New Atlantean? Do they learn other languages in school? Sorry if this question has been asked before!
