Karen Niedzwiecki asked Jonathan Stroud:

Also - does the voice of Bartimaeus ever pop into your head and demand to be written down - or has he definitely moved onward - and forevermore out of your head?

Jonathan Stroud Oh, he's still around, and he still speaks to me. I have to write down what he says quickly, or risk being hit by a Detonation.

Hi! I have read the Lockwood books and somehow, the Whispering Skull reminds me of the witty Bartimaeus.. Is this on purpose? Or it's just my feeling? And will I meet the Skull again in the future? (i hope so!) can't wait for the next Lockwood adventures, thanks for keep writing great stories :)
