James Islington:
Hi James, I'm on my third read of the Will of the Many and it hits every time I read it. I also want to add that I am a Nethgalla apologist and hope when you revisit Licanius you come back to her! My question is: Does music inspire your writing, and if so do you listen to music while you write/ what music do you listen to?

Thanks, that's awesome to hear!
I definitely use music to set my mental mood, sometimes - I don't habitually listen while I write, but do a lot while I'm planning out scenes in my head (often while I'm out on a walk to start the day). For that, I listen to a lot of fairly dramatic, epic instrumental stuff - Audiomachine are probably heaviest in the rotation these days. Particularly enjoying their song 'We Will Get Through This' for a particular scene at the moment!
