Trudi Canavan has updated her blog with an interesting post on the obstacles she has encountered whilst writing The Magician’s Apprentice, the prequel to the events in the Black Magician Trilogy.

After receiving feedback from trusted readers she found that they did not know when the story was taking place, whether it was 6 years or perhaps 600 years in the past. To solve this, she realised that the information needed to go into a blurb … What is a blurb? You need to read the whole post to find out.
