Hi Nick - big fan here! We've spoken before on Instagram, but I just wanted to ask if you watch/have ever watched Critical Role? There were a couple times I thought there might be references, specifically in KotW, but I wasn't sure.

Hi Emaline!
I HAVE watched Critical Role, although only the first...15 or so episodes, maybe? Less, perhaps--they're really long episodes, after all!
I don't thiiiiiink there's any Critical Rose references in KotW, but maybe unintentionally? I kind of wish there were! I saw the cast in the green room at London Comicon a few years back and was pretty damned star-struck!
One modern media reference that did make it into Bloody Rose was from the podcast "Hello From the Magic Tavern". In case you haven't heard of it, it's something you might enjoy if you're into fun fantasy shenanigans! Tam and Brune share a bowl of 'spiced potatoes', which is something the characters on that show continually eat.
Anyway, thanks for asking! And again for reading my books in the first place.

Thanks for the great reply Nicholas. Reading KotW RN, currently at the chimera scene and loving it, some of the best action writing I've read since David Gemmell. Sorry this isn't a question. So here's one, did you have any particular Heavy Metal band in mind when you were imagining Saga?

Nicholas Eames:
Hi Nicholas, as an aspiring writer myself, I wanted to ask how you stayed motivated as a writer for as long as you did? You've been quite open about just how long the writing process took you and how you were often rejected and even had to abandon your first story before KOTW, so I was wondering how you stayed motivated to keep going with writing and what you did when you felt discouraged to keep going?
