Q: I've never encountered "tarquin" before, so I tried searching it out without much luck (ancient Roman leader or someting like that? a rapist?). In this world, does it mean "sadist," "top," "dominant," all of the above, or something I missed entirely?

Q: What will be your next novel project and will it be a stand-alone or a series?
A: ( click )
Q: What made you decide to use a third narrator in The Mirador and again in Corambis?
A: ( click )
Q: What is the most commonly expressed perception of these books, the stories or characters or relationships therein, which makes you grit your teeth?
A: ( click )
Q: Do you think you'll ever revisit the characters of the DoL series?
A: ( click )
Q: You mentioned, I think in your Locus interview, that fantasy doesn't generally handle the issue of class well (or even at all). I couldn't agree more, and I really really like the way you deal with the subject in your novels. What do you think accounts for the way you treat class in your books?
A: ( click )
Q: Corambis is the last book in the Doctrine of Labyrinths series, but have you considered writing other novels that take place in the same world? (Either in a different time or place than DoL) I ask because the world seems to have many rich histories, and I imagine that such histories would also spawn wonderful stories.

Q: Being active in the art community, I've periodically come across fanart for DoL - I'm curious as to what you think of fanart of your characters and world.

Q: A week is seven days, and our numerical system is based on ten. A decad is ten days, and the Lower City's numerical system is based on seven. Coincidence? Also, what inspired you to make a secondary numerical system, on top of the wizard's way of couting? Was there originally just one, but you put the Wizard's version in to help the reader, or vice versa (to world-build, or...?) And why seven? (etc etc etc)
And, can you give a breif explanation of the Lower City's numerical system?
A: ( click )
Q: I know you have plotted the story for 15 years, but as the books got published one by one, did you change your directions or make modifications based on readers' responses? Do you write books to tell stories you want to tell regardless what the readers think or to tell stories you think the readers want to read? Is it important to you that your stories please readers?
A: ( click )
Q: Are you surprised by readers' reactions to the sexual tension between Felix and Midmay? They are mostly positive based on the reviews I read. Is this what you expected? Some call the books "slash" because of this. Do you mind your books being labled as such?
