Slick asked Craig Schaefer:

I love your Daniel Faust Series and im eagerly waiting to start 'The Living End'! I also love your take on the Demons and the sorcerers Grey Moral code. I haven't Found a decent Urban Fantasy Series in a long time so thanks for stepping up!! Could you please give me a run down of what powers and nifty abilities Demons have? Thank you very much and wish you continued success :)

Craig Schaefer Encyclopedic knowledge of 80s trivia -- oh, wait, that's just Caitlin. :) Their most notable ability is lowering humans' inhibitions towards the sin their Choir represents; people who spend time in the presence of a Wrath demon are more likely to solve problems with violence, and so forth. You'll see a prime example of that in The Living End, when an elder Sloth demon shows up.

(There's also a related anecdote in the forthcoming Harmony Black novel, about a Choir of Greed demon possessing a shopping-mall security guard right before Black Friday. It explains so much about Christmas shopping...)

Tom Denker asked Craig Schaefer:

How long have you been wanting to work "Thanks, it has pockets!" into one of your books? It was a needed tension relief where you put it, thanks. (Also, are the Gotham books actually in continuity with Faust, or was the TV show just a fun Easter egg?)

Terry Thisius

Terry Thisius asked Craig Schaefer:

Hi Craig, I just finished The Locust Job and just wanted to thank you for a great diversion during Shelter-In-Place. I can't wait for #10! I also wanted to say finding 'Drive' on your website was like finding $100 in the wash. Keep them coming! My question is, is there a reason you don't mention the short story when readers ask about Dan's backstory?

Lukasz

Lukasz asked Craig Schaefer:

Hi Craig, I'm done with The Castle Doctrine. I have four more books to read to complete your bibliography). Count me a fan. The question is about a Meta thread. Have we already seen the Drifter, the Salesman and the Killer in your books (as Cameos or regulars who just weren't revealed as characters of the bigger plot)? Additional questions - is Mari's roommate a Mouse?
