Questions!
Since not everyone is on Twitter and I rarely venture on to Facebook, here’s a chance for blog enthusiasts to put a question or two to me about life, the universe and my work.
If this proves popular, I may make a regular feature of it. I will try and answer each question as fully as I can.
Oh, and if you do frequent Twitter and follow me (thank you, by the way) and want to ask something that requires more than 140 characters, then here’s the place to do that too.
Right then. Have at it!

Awesome! I have a few.
1. When does the first book in the Circle of Fire trilogy get released? Does it have a title yet?
2. Vulkan Lives. Other than the obvious, what can we expect from this?
3. Have you given any thought to some sort of a sequel to Fall of Damnos? Any chance of returning to Sicarius and Co?
4. After The Great Betrayal, what’s your next fantasy project?

1. How do you come up with the names for your characters in the Tome of Fire trilogy? As which languages are the source?
2. How do you balance between being an editor and a writer? As in when you’re writing does the editor part of you come into the writing process with a greater authority than other writers who are not editors?
Finally I want to thank you for the Weekender and for signing Salamander, see you this year for Weekender II

1. How do you log an idea for yourself? I’m not a writer but often find my mind wondering and get an idea for a cool story, I think about how I should get that down somehow and then quite often I forget and then the idea passes and is lost… I assume this would happen even more for a writer!
2. Are you able to switch off the editor inside and enjoy reading? Are you reading anything for yourself at the moment?
3. Do you have a favourite Non-Superhero related comicbook series that you have read?
Have a fun one!

Ok my question will be the hammer and you , Sir , the anvil
1- Any news of a Salamander Omnibus and perhaps with maps and extrastuff ?
2- Vulkan lives : As the author can you choose , or decide what will be on the cover ? (I hope of an official draw of Vulkan , even if I think he’s the more diffcult to be done )
3 – Can you talk about working with other author and using their stuff in your story ? In the same way what’s your feelings when they use your material ? Have you ever told to a collegue that he has a wrong viewpoint on your stuff ?
4 – Finally what about working with your translator in foreign language ? Especially the French translator .
Glory to Vulkan .

Ok I’ve only got 2 questions,
1 : Have you thought of doing a story ( or short ) on bray’arth ashmantle? He is a 1 of a kind dreadnaught, who got lost for 9 days…I think that’s more than enough time for stuff to go down and some really sick action to occur.
2. Are you wanting the new Rocksteady Batman game to be a prequel ( like they’ve rumored ) or are you itching for something bigger and better ?

Nick, i want to ask a question. Do you plan to write and publish new story about Primarch Vulkan? Prometean Sun was excellent, and can’t wait for new Vulkan stories
Thanks in advance

Oh, what a wonderful idea
.
I have loads of questions.
1) Recently, I reread The Burning. And I wondered if N’Bel is ‘Vulkan’s N’Bel’ or just a guy named that way. And, is the Metalshaper in that story Vulkan? I could never decide.
2) In your HH writing, will we ever see Vulkan wielding/planning/making/thinking about his relics? Or the Tome of Fire?

1. Can you tell us about Vulkan Lives a wee bit more please?
2. Any idea when the first Circle of Fire novel will be out?

Something else that occurred to me
:
What is Ignea? Where is it? In what way are the Igneans different from the ‘normal’ Nocturneans? It seems Dak’ir is lighter skinned than the inhabitants of the Sanctuary Cities, is that because the Igneans are ethnically different?

I’ve been wondering about that for really long: what’s with the apostrophes in some of the Nocturnean names? Do they signify a sound like a glottal stop, or… (I’m probably over-thinking that.)
Also, more importantly, is Dak’ir Sailor Nocturne?
