Shaye asked Jonathan Stroud:

Hello! I'm a huge fan of the Lockwood & Co series! My question is how many books will their be in the series? And will there be any editions to the Lockwood & Co team? Is Lockwood based on you? Hope you'll answer! From Shaye

Jonathan Stroud Hello. There will be at least 4 and probably 5. Additions to the team? Check out The Hollow Boy (book 3) for the answer.... Lockwood based on me? Oooh, I'd like to be as charming and swashbuckling as him, but I'm more like George really.

Paul asked Jonathan Stroud:

One aspect of the "Lockwood" and "Bartimaeus" books that I enjoy is that the underlying magical premise has been allowed to affect the entire universe in which the story occurs. (Unlike many other books, where magic is secret or underground, and life for the unmagical proceeds in a way that indistinguishable from "real life".) Why do you choose to do that? What challenges and opportunities does it create?

Rachel Jackson asked Jonathan Stroud:

Mr Stroud, I'm a huge fan! Firstly I wanted to ask about the romance aspect in your books, you've been quite vague about it with Kitty and Nathaniel and even with Lockwood and Lucy. Do you feel that the romance is irrelevant to the story line and that you'd rather leave that up to the reader or are you going to explore such an angle with Lockwood and Lucy? P.S please write another Bartimaeus story!!

Mitchell Leung

Mitchell Leung asked Jonathan Stroud:

Have you considered adding any special connection ghosts to any of the main characters of the Lockwood & Co series? Actually answer either that or this: Will you ever crossover at any point the Bartimaeus novels with Lockwood & Co? Like maybe a villain summons a djinni or something & Lockwood & Co go through the books to find another djinni (voila!- Bartimaeus) to fight back.
