Evan Thomas asked Andrea Stewart:

What inspired your Bone Empire series? It seems like a lot of writers made books with bone in the Title.

Andrea Stewart The seed for the idea came when I was having lunch with some other writer friends of mine back in 2013, and my friend Marina Lostetter (an amazing SFF writer!) nearly choked on a shard of bone in her food. From there, I started imagining a magic system involving shards of bone taken from citizens, and the world and characters grew from there.

My friends have joked that clearly one of them needs to suffer a near-death experience for my next series...

Just finished The Bone Shard Daughter and loved it - really looking forward to the next one and November seems ages away!! Do you think there might be more than two in the series? I hope so as the characters are great and there's more to them yet, I can see that. Thank you!!

Lisa asked Andrea Stewart:

I was thinking about reading your book - Loose Changeling but when I saw it had only 2 reviews on amazon and 6 here on goodreads. I was wondering if you were still planning on writing more to the series? I basically only read series and that's why I'm asking.

Susan Marrier asked Andrea Stewart:

Do I need to read The Bone Shard Daughter before the Bone Shard Emperor? The second one is available at my library, but the first one not till later this month.
