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!

I have a goofball question for you. You have a LOT of pipe and pipesmoking references in your books. What inspired this? The reason I'm interested is that I am a professional carver of fantasy-themed pipes, and have done this fulltime for the past 22 years now. In fact, if you ever need to know pipe trivia or info for any reason, just give me a buzz and I'll be happy to help.
