Linwood Barclay:
Which book have you read lately that made you angry at the actions or outcome of a character?
Linwood Barclay
I honestly can't think of an example, Ray. I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Stephen King's upcoming The Outsider, and something pretty startling happens to a main character in that book that I was not expecting, but the thing is, it worked. So, shocked, perhaps. But not angry. I think, rather than get angry at a character, I might be more inclined to be angry, or at least annoyed, with the writer. If the writer isn't making the story work, don't blame the characters.

Hi, Mr. Barclay, I hope you remember me! You signed my copy of Bad Guys a while back (paperback edition.) I am a huge Zack Walker fan. We also e-mailed back and forth a bit. My question is, did you ever release Lone Wolf and Stone Rain in hardcover format? I have searched Amazon and Ebay without success. I did find Bad Move and Bad Guys though. If you can help me with this, i would appreciate it.
