Hello again Mr. Eames! I have two questions for you: 1. What can we expect in the third book(characters, bad guys, you name it.) 2. who was the easiest and the most fun character to write in Kings of the Wild and Bloody Rose? (I actually just got Bloody Rose and I am currently reading it)
Nicholas Eames
Hello!
Well, the third book is inspired by the music of the 90s (as opposed to the 70s and 80s of books 1 and 2 respectively), so thanks to bands like Nirvana, NWA, and Rage against the Machine it's steeped heavily in themes of discontent, rebellion, and a general disdain for authority. As for characters, it'll feature a whole new "band", but since it IS the final installment you should expect pretty much everyone still from the previous books to make an appearance. That's the plan, anyway!
I think the easiest characters to write are the POV characters. While Clay has a lot of my sarcastic/pragmatic humour, Tam has my hopeless sentimentality, so I loved writing from both their perspectives.
Most fun, though? That's goota me Moog (in KotW) and Roderick (in Rose). Both are hilarious, but much more complex than they seem at a glance.
Thanks for reading my books! Hope you like Bloody Rose!

Hi! When you start on a new book, do you have a story already in mind and characters or do you just have a character and a situation that you start writing from or any other starting point? I guess my question is: Whats your starting point, what do you have at the start of the writing process and what do you develop as you go along writing? Thanks!

I love how this is tied to rock bands. I haven't read a book this quickly in years. As a rock/metal fan, what are some of your favorite bands and which ones did you use as references in this book? I caught a few, Neil the Young, but am sure I missed a few. Thank you for the great time!
