Do you listen to music while writing or do you prefer it to be quiet? Do you have a writing playlist?

Pianos, violins and orchestras, which is the sort of music the cyrens in the book revere.ĥ. As for me… I’ve never been one of those cool kids who knew about the latest bands and such, but I suppose I have a quiet passion for film scores and instrumental music more than anything. You’re absolutely right, music is such a vital part of cyren culture in the book. Is it also an important part of your life? Music plays a huge role in Lair of Bones. I’ve come to learn that these stages of the process are just as important as actually putting words on the page.Ĥ. Nowadays, I know I need to outline and so I spenda decent chunk of time prior to actually writing doing just that and lots of brainstorming. I like to think that it’s developed a lot since then. How has yourwriting process changed over the years? You’ve already written and published another series, the Oremere Chronicles. From there, the ideas surrounding the lair and the cyrens who ruled it seemed to snowball.ģ. I always knew I wanted to explore that setting more and it wasn’t until War of Mist wrapped up that I realised a whole new adventure awaited me. In my previous books, The Oremere Chronicles, there was a lair of bones. And without further ado… let’s head right into it, shall we?ġ.How would you describe Lair of Bones in 3 words?Ģ. You can read my review for A Lair of Bones here. I’m very excited to bring you an interview with the wonderful Helen Scheuerer today!
