I was intrigued by that book too, Kelpie. (Court of the Midnight King) I note that Nixie has read it. I wonder if she would be kind enough to comment on it before the interview. An overview for the rest of us would be useful. I'm going to try to read at least a little of the first in the Jewelfire Trilogy. I read the first four of her Blackbird series a long time ago, but I'm going to see if I can lay my hands on a copy of A Blackbird in Silver again in order to compare the then and now. All I can remember is that I enjoyed it, which is not much to go on!

I'm also keen to find out what motivates someone to write horror. As someone who has never been drawn to this genre, I would love to know why anyone would want to immerse themselves in something innately frightening.
