Are you planning on writing more books in the War of The Blades series? I'm almost finished with Dragon Blade, and I already have Dragon Justice too. This is one of the best series I've read in a long time. It's as great as the Eragon and Dragonriders of Pern series! You are very talented!

J.D. Hallowell Thanks, John! I'm so happy to hear that you've enjoyed the books. I do have plans for more: Dragon Home should be released later this year.

Are there plans to make audio version for Dragon Blade (and Dragon Justice in the future)? I have it on Audible and between your writing and Brian Gill's performance, it was thoroughly enjoyable, and I'm not ready to stop yet.

J.D. Hallowell Dragon Blade will be out on Audible within the next 10 days. I'm so glad you're enjoying the books!

Are there going to be any more books in the War of Blades series or any more in that world?

J.D. Hallowell Thanks for asking! Yes, there are plans for at least two more books in that world. One is in edits right now, and I'm hoping it will be released this year.

I have a question for you, J.D. What was your inspiration for the dragon blade sword? Have you ever sketched out any reference pics?

J.D. Hallowell Thanks for the great question, Jeffrey! Sorry it took me so long to get to it.

I got the idea for the Dragon Blades when I was thinking about what a dragon egg would be like. What would the shell be made of? What properties would it have? Would the shards be of any use or value?

So, I was thinking about this tough, durable, mineralized material, and it occurred to me that both our earliest and our most modern blades have been made out of stone and ceramic materials, and that led to the thought about how cool it would be to have a custom blade made from a dragon's egg...

Sadly, I don't have any illustrations of them, but they are described in a fair amount of detail in the books if any of you artists out there want to remedy that situation. (Subtle hint)
