The magic as it stands is pretty much the same throughout the world. It wasn't the sample cases that was so hard as it was getting everyone robed up so that they would be relatively secure unless there was a particular kind of accident. I thought the lab sequences would drive me daffy. Talk about sweating bullets! I started with The Great Plague and a comprehensive book on epidemic disease past and future (I'd give you the title, but my assistant appears to have abscoldulated with the book), and after reading myself wonky, I started working out how to translate it into the technology I had. I read up on scientific investigations of disease testing in earlier eras and winged it from there, sweating all the way as I translated 18- and 1900s scientific method to my magical system. Is there any character whose death you’d like to undo- not just for sentimental reasons, but out of potential stories that you wish you could explore? Is Musenda/Sarge as a character at all inspired by Oenomaus, from Spartacus?įor Nawat’s reaction to Ochabai in the short story, was that inspired by real crow behavior- do crows actually cull their children? Also, I thought it added a lot to the story that Ochabai was named after Ochobu, who of course Nawat had such a unique relationship with. How was that version of the story structured- did Thom arrive at court earlier?Īre you taking any inspiration from that original Roger/Thom content in writing Ozorne and Numair’s relationship in the Numair Chronicles? You’ve said before that in the first draft, for the adult version of Lioness, Roger and Thom were romantically involved. I have a few questions, but I’d love any answer to even just one if you have the time: Aly was the first I met, back in seventh grade, but I’ve loved getting to meet the rest throughout the years, and I can’t wait to read more!
