Stephen Wallace asked Mark Lawrence:

I love all your books Mark, but the Book of the Ancestor was my favorite. Can you make another series with similar aspects if enough of us ask politely?

Mark Lawrence You'll notice (hopefully) that all of my trilogies have quite different flavours to each other. This is commercial suicide as an author, but I get bored after about 3 books.

So, nope, sorry. As long as publishers keep publishing me, I'll be exploring new ideas and new ways to tell stories.

There's a guide to my stuff linked in my profile, so you can get a sense for what each trilogy offers.

But don't forget Tales of Abeth - there's more Nona & co there.
And the Book of the Ice trilogy gives you more of that world with a very different character.

Mitch Kable asked Mark Lawrence:

Will you give up your day job to become a full-time writer? Maybe you don't need to, as I've seen many of your comments suggesting how easy it is to find a little bit of time each day to write. But imagine your output if you could just write every day instead of, I don't know, ripping the mask away from the universe to expose the face of god. (That's what physics is, right?)

So my question in short, how did You get these ideas?
