That’s excellent news about Gregg visiting Brisbane, PCN! {I’ll restrain myself this time – Lizabeth Ann has admirably used all the ‘excited !!!’ quota for this post. 😉 }

Thanks to all for your comments. Trust No One is out today so go grab it! (The book, that is, not Gregg himself, okay, Maggie?)

Shelley P, Gregg will be in Brisbane Sept. 9-13. You can say hello in person!

le0pard13, I don’t have any experience with audio books (love the actual eyeball-to-paper experience too much) but hope Lawlor does TNO justice. If not, can you get SWMBO to read it to you?

Lizabeth Ann, if I paid you $50, could you BE any more excited?!

Veronica, I like that line, too.

Lenore, glad you like the questions. I try not to ask Qs that have been asked a thousand times or about stuff that can be easily found elsewhere.

Tris, you’ll have to wait your turn in line. As mentioned, I’m throwing him down twice and that might take a while.

Diann, I agree!

Excellent interview. Can’t wait to read this new book. Gregg’s work just keeps getting better and better!

Great job! Gregg’s stuff is captivating and hard to put down – great questions, and yes, why thank you, I’ll get in that line (for both of you!)

;-p

The book sounds interesting and Gregg does sound cool. I’ll check it out.

I’m so glad you asked fun questions, PCN. If I have to read or hear someone ask “where do you get your ideas?” or “do you outline?” one more time, I’m gonna hurl somebody down the stairs and it won’t be as a compliment.

I read the first chapter online and was hooked. Can’t wait for the rest. Great interview, PCN. Gregg comes through as a gracious and generous person and scary-smart writer. I’ve met him several times in person and it’s right on. I like: “I think a lot of people want to be writers, but very few actually want to write, so that’s something that’s very defining—the activity itself. Mostly, I try to be a man of my word, to uphold promises, to be honest even when it’s not convenient.”

You wrote: “It opens big, gets bigger, and hurtles towards an explosive finish without shredding character development and logic along the way.”

Wow, that’s my kinda guy – and the books are amazing, too. (Sorry, Gregg, couldn’t resist 🙂 Hard to imagine Gregg’s books needing improvement (they don’t) but Patrick Lawlor’s voice is almost gilding the lily. I love his narrations for the T. Jefferson Parker’s he’s done.

I’m really looking forward to this one. The only thing I have a concern about (since I’m getting it in unabridged audiobook form) is the reader Brilliance Audio has assigned to it, Patrick Lawlor. His narration is good on some works, but he was a terrible match-up with the three Elvis Cole books he performed. Great interview, PCN. You got Gregg’s personality well on it. He’s one cool, generous author (met up with him a couple of times at the recent Festival of Books). Way to go!

Form a line, take a ticket. 🙂 Seriously though, I love it that good things do happen to nice people! And that hard work does pay. This book sounds like a real thriller – onto The List with it. Thanks as always, PCN!
