Hi Kathy, all these series contain all the information necessary to read them independently. However if you prefer to read from the beginning, I'd recommend you read The View from the Mirror followed by The Well of Echoes and The Song of the Tears, then The Gates of Good and Evil. The Song of the Tears is a sequel to The Well of Echoes and is best read after that series. More info here: http://www.ian-irvine.com/about-ian-2... Cheers, Ian.

Hi Robin, depends what you like. I've written 32 novels. If it's epic fantasy you're after – and they're by far my most popular books – you could start at A Shadow on the Glass, which begins The View from the Mirror quartet, or Geomancer, which begins The Well of Echoes quartet. Happy reading! Ian.

I don't need to get inspired. I just really enjoy being a writer and I'm constantly trying to find more time to do it.

It's not the most talent writers who succeed – lot's of people can write. The key to success is being absolutely determined to learn the craft of storytelling, no matter what it takes – and never giving up.

There are lots of great things. I love being a storyteller, and crafting stories over a long period of time. It's great that people get so much out of my stories and sometimes that the stories have helped people through difficult patches in their own lives.

I don't really get writer's block – an inability to write anything.
