Top Retellings of Classic Tales
Rolli
Rolli asked Daniel Price:

Daniel, you are so slow... and what? You are saying "hoping it comes out before the end of NEXT year" – argh; I hoped it could make my shelf this year!...and while I'm waiting for the next Silvers story - I also want all these other books you haven't written yet. Slick is one of the best books within the last years; it made it to my classics list. Please clone yourself multiple times and keep writing – I’m addicted!

Daniel Price Hi, Rolli. I'm glad you enjoyed "Slick" and I'm sorry for the wait between books. I'm not a speed writer by any stretch of the imagination. I write, then I revise, and then I revise twenty more times. But I'd like to think it's for a good cause. If you saw the early drafts of "Slick" or "The Flight of the Silvers"...let's just say there's a reason I keep them in a vault guarded by lasers and pit bulls and golems made of pudding (they're tough but delicious). Those drafts truly suck.

Rest assured that when "The Song of the Orphans" comes out, it'll be worth the wait. It's the best thing I've ever created, aside from the pudding golems.

Kristofor asked Daniel Price:

I just finished "The Flight of the Silvers"! It was not what I expected at all. Needless to say it was GREAT! I'm even more excited that the sequel seems to be on its way! Thanks for your gift! Now that I'm done gushing...actual question... Your characters are very vibrant and relatable. Do they mirror people you know personally or have met, or are they completely made up?

Wayong Weiss asked Daniel Price:

Exciting news! I hope your book does get made into a TV series. Do you know which station will pick up the series... SyFy Channel, AMC, BBC, TBS or FXX? Normally, I would say BBC, but SyFy has fantastic shows: The Magicians & 12 Monkeys. You probably already know that Victoria Schwab & Lee Kelly had their books picked up? Love their books!

Shelby
Shelby asked Daniel Price:

What is your writing process? Do you listen to music when you write? Do you need silence? Do you write out storylines and characters or do you go for it with just a few ideas and a general direction of where you want the story to go? Are you always thinking about the book even when not writing? Do you have a set amount of time you write everyday? Do you ever get writer's block and if yes how do you over come it?
