Hey Mr. Nicholson, I was just wondering what is going on with the whole 'Seeker' being made into a movie?
William Nicholson:
It's all gone very quiet on the movie front, which means it's not likely there's going to be any film produced any time soon.

Hiit me again i was just wondering what accent does the manth people have in wind on fire and were do they come from. Ravenne
William Nicholson:
I don't know what accent they have. I suppose in my mind as I write they talk like me. But that means that as you read they can talk like you. Where do they come from? Well, it's a made-up world, of course. They come from elsewhere in that world, because they began as travelling people.

I dont really have a question... however, I sent you a message a while ago about my series The Chronicles of Qur'al. The first book was Child Of Sand and the second book was Waterheart. As I said before, the encouraging response you gave me helped me start the second book...Waterheart...and now I am happy to say the whole series has an outline and a purpose and I've almost reached the 100th page in Waterheart. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to tell me to keep going, it truly helped.
William Nicholson:
If you're actually completing your books, that puts you into the company of a tiny minority. Most wannabe writers never actually get this far. So congratulations. And isn't it marvellous, the process of creation?

Dear Mr. Nicholson, I've read your Windsinger trilogy and the first two books of your Noble Warriors trilogy. I certainly agree more with you about the first series than the woman who wrote recently. The first book did not impress me as much as the next two. They were wonderful works in regard to depth and character development. The first work may have been meant for a stand alone novel, and had a beauty and sweetness to its ending, but much had gone undeveloped. Like some of your other correspondents, this trilogy led me to believe that you were a Christian working somewhat in the inkling tradition. From this perspective, the first two books of your Noble Warrior series, though I enjoyed them have left me puzzled enough to look up your bio and find out, at least a little of who you are. Now I see that your Nom has also been bombed. It makes sense to me. I was also raised Catholic and left that church in my early adulthood --rather confused by all those Vatican council changes and after very many years found my way into a much deeper and more traditional Christianity. I know that in saying that you are no longer a Christian you are being honest and as an honest man, perhaps you will not be offended if I say a little more. I also feel that Christ still dwells in a hidden room of your heart. He has not let go of you. So, keep that place where your faith once dwelt as a sacred place within you. Don't let it get filled with clutter. Keep it open for what should be there and I believe, someday will be there. God bless you. --MM
William Nicholson:
Thank you for your care and thoughtfulness. I respond strongly to your admonition, 'Don't let it get filled with clutter.' This is the great hazard of life today. So much trivia occupies our time and thoughts. If I can clear that hidden room in my heart, I don't know what I'll find there; but I know it's worth doing.

The topic of turning the Wind on Fire trilogy into a movie is probably over discussed but I just cannot stop wishing it would happen. I read the books quite a while back but they had such an affect on me and whenever I was having an unbearable day at school or whenever I would just open one of your books and find myself in that magnificent world. I know it sounds crazy. I simply would love to see the story come to life. Even with a few things cut out, it would still be an absolutely amazing story to see. light and sound, meredith
William Nicholson:
I'd like it too, but right now nothing's happening. It's true I'm quite fussy about who might make the films. But at present I'm just not getting the offers.
