There's a great Lance Parkin interview at <http://unreality-sf.net/interviews/parkin.html> (and follow the link for part 2). Much of what he says will be...
I got thinking about the NAs the other day (after I found Dying Days and Well Mannered War in a shop for $5!) and it suddenly struck me how similar to Blood...
