Top Retellings of Classic Tales
Stacy Brunner
Stacy Brunner asked Deborah Harkness:

Would you ever consider teaching an open online course on the history surrounding your trilogy? I loved how you connected a fictional story to real people and events of the past. I listened to Shadow of Night on audiobook with my ipad open looking up details on all the historical figures. It would be fun to have a guide taking me through the history, culture, art, society of Europe in the 1590s.

Deborah Harkness I'm afraid I don't have any plans to do that. With my teaching at USC, my work on behalf of the books, and of course the writing itself my schedule is pretty full at the moment!

I heard you say (at a signing event for SON) that when you were finished with "Book 3" you were going to stare at a blank wall for about a year. :) Is that still the plan?

Karen asked Deborah Harkness:

The series makes me want to travel just for the sake of visiting more of these ancient libraries! Amid your travels, professional and personal, what is your very favorite library?

Bridgen
Bridgen asked Deborah Harkness:

So many of your characters in this trilogy have BIG personalities (esp. forces of nature like Baldwin and Sarah!). I am wondering if it ever got difficult for you to fit so many different voices onto the same page?
