Serial writer

Where do you foresee Ghosts of Albion going if it catches the public's imagination? One of the things I've never understood about the United Kingdom is the idea that you can make a television series last for six episodes, it does well and you never do any more again!

Not necessarily even as a writer, but as a member of the audience, if I'm getting something of a good thing I want more, and if it's still good, there's no reason to not do it. In fact, it seems ridiculous not to continue.

As a novelist I've written certain books that people keep asking me for sequels for that I don't think either require or would benefit from having any kind of follow-up. They seem to stand on their own. But I'm a child of television, so in addition to having books like that, I've also written books that sort of beg for continuation, and I have done so.

We've set up Ghosts of Albion so we could not only continue the adventures of William and Tamara Swift for several hundred episodes, but we could also do episodes set further in the past or in the present day, we could do stories set in every different part of the world because there are protectors in every region of the earth.
