I'm still waiting till i can buy the book, but i'm pretty sure i will love it! My question is.. how did you think of such an interesting idea for your book?
Alwyn Hamilton
Thanks so much, hope you do enjoy it when you get to buy it :-) The idea came in a whole lot of different pieces at different times. But the main part of it was because I wanted to write the story of a young female sharpshooter, but I didn't want to write a pure western, so I decided to cross it with the Arabian Nights, the rest came from there!

Hi! I'm a huge fan of your books. I finished the Rebel of the Sands trilogy in a week and I LOVED it. I was really curious about your writing process, especially in the planning stages. How do you do your background research? Also, how do you come up with your characters' names? (I'm having a hard time doing that.) Do you have any tips/advice for a young writer?
