And in the course of the books, he interacts not only with other fictional characters, but also historical figures like Samuel Adams, James Otis, and Thomas Hutchinson. He is also a conjurer, who uses his magic to help him solve crimes. My hero, Ethan Kaille, is a thieftaker, sort of an eighteenth century private investigator. The second book coincides with the beginning of the British occupation of Boston in 1768.
I’ve added a murder to that night’s events. So, for instance, Thieftaker begins on the night of the Stamp Act riots that took place in August 1765. Each book is a standalone murder mystery with a magical element, set in 1760s Boston, and built around some significant historical event in the years leading up to the American Revolution. The premise of the book and the series is fairly straightforward. The second book, Thieves’ Quarry, is in production and will be out in the summer of 2013. Thieftaker, as I say, is the first book in my new Thieftaker Chronicles series. How would you introduce the novel to a new reader? Where do you see the series going in the future? Your debut novel, Thieftaker is out now through Tor Books in the US. history that I earned many, many years ago.
And I suppose I should mention here that in addition to everything else, I also have a Ph.D. Jackson, I am the author of a new series of historical urban fantasies called The Thieftaker Chronicles. Coe, and under my own name I’m the author of eleven epic fantasy novels (from three series: The LonTobyn Chronicle, Winds of the Forelands, and Blood of the Southlands), as well as the novelization of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. I thought I’d start off this interview with something easy: Who is D.B. While I wait to get my hands on a copy, I thought I’d get in touch with Jackson to pick his brains about his new novel, pen-names, writing, and more. As a sucker for American history, thrillers, and the fantastic, I am very interested in reading this novel.
Jackson’s Thieftaker has received some great feedback around the book-related blogosphere.
