ASK ME ANYTHING!!!
Haven’t done this for ages. Ask away. I’ll round up answers in a voice post.
Book tour in the UK has beaten me. Not that I haven’t enjoyed it. Quite the opposite! But I’ve been writing my biography of Henry V by day, and kicking the bejesus out of travelling around the country talking about Wolves of Winter by night.
It hasn’t left much time for anything else, beyond power drinking post gig and eating motorway service station garbage.
So let’s make this week’s post a good old-fashioned Q&A. You ask, I’ll answer, verbally and in a voice post on the First Draft stream. (You’ll get it to your email inbox, but also to your podcast app, if you subscribe. Let me restate for legal reasons that it’s definitely not a podcast.)
Okay then. Over to you. Anything goes, pretty much. Subscribers can post in the comments below. Everyone will get the post with the answers for free.

Writing from a motorway service station myself after seeing your fab talk in Canterbury earlier (thanks for taking the time to do these kinds of things!) so feeling the grotty vibes.
With Plantagenets, Hollow Crown and of course Powers and Thrones, you’ve covered a huge swathe of the Middle Ages in your writing, but is there any one smaller period within that expanse that is your real sweet spot which for whatever reason you enjoy more than the rest? Has that changed as you’ve focused on different projects?
When I read Essex Dogs, I really felt it would make an excellent TV series. Is there any possibility that might happen?
