I don't have any specific plans to return to the 'Age of the Five.' If I do, it won't be a sequel.
'The Black Magician Trilogy' was about a conflict between countries and was very limited and almost claustrophobic in its range of settings, while 'The Age of the Five' was about a conflict between continents.
Wisdom and knowledge is everywhere, but so is stupity.
Great. She shook her head. Not only am I having conversations with myself, but now I'm refusing to talk to me. This has got to be the first sign of madness.
There's always a bit of truth in each rumour, the trouble is finding out which bit. - Tayend
I have always been fascinated by the supernatural elements in stories, whether fairy tales, myths, film or literature.
I still recommend reading travel guides as an insight to a traveller's perspective on fantasy worlds. Nearly all characters end up travelling at some point, and they have many of the same needs and concerns covered in travel guides.
'The Magician's Apprentice' was about someone from the low end of society manifesting magical power and how that completely messes up the balance of the whole system.
