Julianne
Julianne asked Deborah Harkness:

How long did it take you to write the trilogy from drafts to finished product?

Jeannie
Jeannie asked Deborah Harkness:

I seem to have a different favourite character in each book - Matthew in no.1; Diana in no.2; and Gallowglass in no.3 - do you have a favourite character and if so what makes them that extra bit special?

Kari Loeser
Kari Loeser asked Deborah Harkness:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[ Can you give any insight as to why the role of demons was not fully explored in a main character, other than Hamish, and some secondary characters such as the young couple from North Carolina who gave birth to a witch? Especially since the notion that Diana and Matthew can have biological children because she has all 3 blood genes (witch, demon, and vampire)? (hide spoiler)]
