Hello Mrs.Armstrong! I'm a huge fan of your Age of Legends series :)Where did the main characters (Moria, Gavril, Ashyn, Ronan, and Tyrus) come from, and what your inspiration was to create them? P.S Forest of Ruin is almost out and I can't wait!!!

Part of their origin is actually me having some fun with RPG types. I love playing RPGs and I thought it would be fun to "assign" major types to characters, and then build on them from there, fleshing them out to be more, as one does in any kind of role playing.
You'd have Moria as a ranger (missile weapon fighter), Ashyn as a sorceress/healer/priestess, Ronan as a rogue and Gavril as a warrior. That was just the very beginning, of course. Like assigning them all types and then diving into hours of character work.
By the time Tyrus arrives, Gavril has to step aside for a while, so it's like swapping out the warrior character in your RPG party :)

So I added a book called The Unquiet Past to my wish list, but it isn't listed on your website. I emailed and your assistant very kindly got back to me, saying that it was part of series where different authors would right different books? Can you elaborate any on that?
