Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Grace
Grace asked Mark Lawrence:

I absolutely love the Book of the Ancestor trilogy! I was wondering how you came to name Sister Kettle? Is it possibly a nod to the Kettle in Robin Hobb's Farseer realm? I read the two series back-to-back, and have since named my latest D&D character Kettle. :)

Mark Lawrence It's not a conscious nod, but I have definitely read and loved the Farseer books (the Fitz ones). So maybe an unconscious one!

I hope you've read the short story, Bound, where Pot meets Kettle :)

Paul asked Mark Lawrence:

Any chance of a hard copy release of Gunlaw in the near future. Its been nice in installments but I love a physical copy? Maybe a Kickstarter release following your recent success as it doesn't interfere as much with publishing contracts in theory?

Greg Louderback asked Mark Lawrence:

Will One Word Kill be released in the U.S. or just through Amazon? I was looking for the release date but the only results led to Amazon.com. It very well be that I screwed up the search query. Thanks

Jake Middleton asked Mark Lawrence:

Hi Mark, love your storytelling. Out of interest, in 'Red Sister' did you intentionally focus on writing a story with an almost all female set of characters or were you simply led by the idea? I just realised (after re-reading Red Sister in preparation for book 2) that you haven't written a story dominated by female characters before. Did it present any new/different writing challenges?
