Q: How did you come up with your characters (and their names) for Deltora Quest?

Q: Will there be another DQ series eventually, or will the 3rd series be the final one?

Q: The number seven seems to come up alot in the DQ series (there are seven gems, Jasmine's parents are taken when she is seven, etc). Was there a special reason/purpose for this?

Q: How long would it take to go from one Territory to another in DQ if you were marching to the Shadowlands from First Wood?
