| When did you realise the series would run to four books and what elements exceeded your original intentions? How embarrassing to admit this! I’d looked at my course of books as Robin Hobb and realized that for anyone thinking of venturing in, a nine book series can be a bit daunting. So I decided to write a stand alone novel that might allow a reader to experiment with my style and choice of story, an introduction to my world. I hoped it would be a nice lure that would work for people who wanted a full story before plunging into the bigger story. It was to be a book that readers could read and enjoy even if they’d never ventured into my world before. I failed miserably. The book was far too long and turned in very late. So, the editorial decision was to split the book in two for faster editing. That was how Dragon Keeper became the first volume and Dragon Haven the second one. As I wrapped up Dragon Haven, I knew that I wanted to explore that city a LOT more than I had. So I thought I’d write one more book. Again, it was far too long. So it became City of Dragons and Blood of Dragons. One day, I’d still like to write a stand alone book that would give new readers a way to sample my world. |
