Q – You have published 5 books – are they a single series?
A – Yes and No is the answer. The journey starts in White Light Red Fire in the 1300s. The action is situated mostly on the island of Andore. The action in the trilogy – The Emperor, The Son and The Thief moves on 200 years to the 1500s and is mostly situated in the southern lands of Kermin and Amina although I was surprised when the thief’s story ended up back in the north of Andore. The Empress continues the story in Kermin and Amina but ranges out into the previously unexplored lands of the Sofanomin. In fact The Empress brings the story up to current times – 2014. I hope the stories stand-alone but they all have common elements – the red fire of othium, the same lands over 700 years, some of the same characters – in particular the old alchemist, Oien.
