Do you still work in game industry? Do you have ideas about making a Cabal-themed computer game or, may be, board game some time in the future?
Jonathan L. Howard
Not currently, although I wouldn't mind doing some content creation work if any developers are reading this (hint, hint). When JOHANNES CABAL THE NECROMANCER was published, the publisher suggested creating a small adventure game to promote it. I said that sounded like fun and gave them a rough costing for art and coding, given that I would design and write it for free. They looked at the figures and suddenly went off the idea.
I have been approached by a well-known board game designer to do a Cabal-based game, but unhappily the film option includes merchandising rights so I wasn't able to go ahead with that. Perhaps as and when the novels are filmed, they production company might consider issuing a board game license. I hope so; I'm very fond of board games.

Dear Mr Howard,
first of all thank you for coming up with Johannes Cabal and making him German (I love all the random bits of my native language in the books!). Secondly, my question: Is there any chance of us seeing more of Leonie Barrow in future novels and if so, will she be meeting Horst? I imagine that meeting would be quite enlightening for both parties and rather horrifying for Johannes. Thank you!
