He began writing Seeds of Empire while lying flat on his back with harsh instructions not to move while the chips of bone in his spine were firmly cemented. He was confined to a hospital bed after having a couple of vertebrae fused and became interested in what might have happened if history had been just a little bit different - and he began writing it while lying flat on his back with stern instructions not to move while the chips of bone in his spine became firmly cemented. Writing while supine is difficult, and he only achieved a hundred pages or so, but after the ward dragon allowed him to get out of bed, he was able to write much more quickly. Laurie has enjoyed watching Camelod and its North European empire develop over the years as the first book grew and was joined by three and a half more (the most recent will hopefully publish next year (2016)), and she has enjoyed watching Camelod and its North European empire grow. Numerous technological advancements provided Camelod with the strength to resist the mighty Roman Empire, and at first it appeared that he was too quick to be acknowledged, but historical study revealed that what took thirty-three years in the mythical empire only took twenty-eight years in the real world from 1772 to 1800.
