What inspired you to write the Blood Guard series? It’s so amazing!
Carter Roy
First, I'm so glad you've enjoyed the books. That means the world to me.
Second, as to inspirations: the core idea about the thirty-six pure came from something I read years ago that stuck with me. I liked the idea of 36 random people on whom the fate of the world rests. So I plucked that notion out of kabala and ran with it.
As for the rest ... they're just fun things that occurred to me during the writing of the book. I wrote the book I'd have loved when I was eleven, packing in as much action and humor as I could.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for asking this terrific question!

Morning! Wanted to bring to your attention (since my kid brought it to my attention in the pre-dawn hours this morning) that our printing of The Glass Gauntlet is missing pages 185-200. Yep - it skips directly from 184-201. Because it's nearly impossible to directly contact Amazon or Amazon Publishing, I wanted to alert you. (PS - even though it was missing 17 pages, he couldn't put it down... I'm next!) ?
