Hi John, I really enjoyed The Faithful and the Fallen series and I am very much looking forward to "Wrath". I've also just finished reading Brian Staveley's Chronicle of the Unhewn thrown" series, which I also enjoyed. Can you tell me if there are any other "new" authors, in your genre, that you are enjoying at present? Cheers, Sam

Hi Sam,
It's great to hear that you're enjoying the series so far, and I appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
New authors that I've particularly enjoyed - Sebastien de Castell. Awesome musketeer-like action.
Miles Cameron - Awesome medieval war, armour-crunching action.
Mark Lawrence - not sure if you'd call him new, now, but his writing's fantastic. Ist series (Prince of Thorn's one) is pretty dark and introspective awesome. Second series (Prince of Fool's one) is more light-hearted, buddy road-movie cool. With an awesome Viking.
Not new but have to recommend anyway...
Bernard Cornwell's King Arthur series, book 1 the Winter King. One of my all time favourite series.
David Gemmell, Sword in the Storm. One of my favourite books ever.
I hope that helps. If you've read all of those, give me a shout and I'll think of some more for you :)
Best,
John

Hi John, I just finished Maliace which I loved. I have your remaining Faithful and the Fallen books on my shelf ready to devour. 1) Are you currently working on or creating a new world/saga in which we can delve into and enjoy soon? 2) Although you will conclude the epic tale with Wrath (if it is not spoiler worthy) will you be returning to The Banished Lands in any of your future works. Thank you. James x
