People are too easily influenced by the categories and avoid books that they would like. Do the categories serve any useful purpose? Excellent interview but it makes me realise - guilty face - that I don't have the World of Darkness. Rushes off to buy it! Thanks Caroline and Sarwat.

Imran reading Chapter 1 Extract from Ash Mistry and the Savage Fortress

Very helpful para about villains and completely agree about age banding. Have your say Overweight and under-exercised, Ash loves Dungeons and Dragons, computer games and being with his mates. He hates India. This is a shame because he and his younger sister Lucky have to spend a summer there with his archaeologist uncle who's carrying out a dig for the sinister Lord Savage. An accident at the dig site sees Ash infected with a splinter from the aastra of Kali, the dread goddess of death. He becomes her servant, the perfect agent of death, just as the world needs him.

For Lord Savage has dark plans for the world, plans that involve demons and demon kings, past lives and deadly futures Did you have a lightbulb moment when you worked out how to combine those two elements or was it a process of evolution? I have my old notes so I can see the evolution of the idea from some generic supernatural detective story to something based on Indian mythology. There was an insane amount of material.

You have the terrain which covered the Himalayas to the desert to ancient cities filled with temples to cyber-cities of the 21st century. There was unbelievable wealth and extreme poverty and the conflict between an amazingly structured and traditional society trying to play catch-up to become a superpower. The levels of conflict and contrast were so extreme, it was perfect.

What ended up in the trilogy is just a fraction of the brainstorm that happened at the beginning. Interestingly, the Asian protagonist came a little later, and I'll be honest, I did have my concerns about the appeal of an ethnic hero and if it would end up being side-lined because people might think an Asian writing about an Asian set in Asia might end up having niche appeal. Then I realised life was too short worrying about such things and just went for it.

Does the age group of the intended audience affect what you write and how you approach your writing? So when I wrote my first book I just had the idea that the heroine, Billi SanGreal, needed to be 15 based on parental and physical needs. That's the age where you decide what sort of adult you'll be and the age when the scales fall from your eyes regarding your parents. You start to see their flaws and, at one level, cannot forgive them for not being perfect. Plus Billi's a highly trained warrior, so needed to be that much older so that it seemed believable she could kick ass so hard without having supernatural powers.

Those were the issues I wanted to bring out in my first series. It was what it was. The whole YA thing came up well after it had been written. That seemed to work for someone younger. But he inhabits the same world as Billi SanGreal, so there was going to be a certain level of horror. It's just another form of age-banding which, frankly, was a stupid idea in the first place.

Series: Ash Mistry Chronicles

Do you find that your characters are shaped by their choices and events as you write them or do you map out your characters in advance so their characteristics shape how they approach events? UK cover Book 3. Oh, it has to be both. I do believe in plotting and do plot quite detailed outlines but am always happy to go off piste if something better comes up. Ash evolved over several drafts and with help from my editors. The ending of the series was about enlightenment, what Ash realises about the nature of life and was heavily influenced by my mother's passing.

None of that existed when I first set out on writing the story. The strain of mysticism just grew and Ash along with it. In the end all my stories have had some religious aspect and that spills into the books whether I plan it or not. The past lives were an interesting way of exploring Ash. What is immortal about humanity? Do we have fundamental, unchangeable values?
