Last Thursday there was a special Q&A session with me on the Pewter Wolf Read blog, to tie in with the release of my new book, Archibald Lox and the Forgotten Crypt. What set this Q&A apart from the many others that I have done over the years is that in this one, the blogger didn't ask the questions -- instead they were submitted by fans of my books. This gave it a very different feel to a normal Q&A article -- it's not as carefully structured as most would be, with questions coming from all over the place, jumping between my new series and my older books. I really liked the final results -- it gave me the same kind of unpredictable, jamming vibes that I get at a live Q&A event when I'm out on tour!

Some of the questions included... what was your inspiration behind Archibald Lox?... I would be interested in hearing more about the thought process in deciding on release dates... Would you ever consider doing a werewolf book series?... Who do you prefer out of Mr Crepsley and Dervish?... Is there any update on the Cirque Du Freak tv show development?
