Shannon Tuttle asked Michael Robotham:

I recently read the entire Joe O'Loughlin series and adored it! I hope to see more of Joe in the future. Thank you for all of your hard work and creating such interesting characters. After finishing The Other Wife, I started reading Life or Death and was surprised and thrilled that not only was it set in Texas but it also featured The Woodlands which is my hometown. What made you want to write a book based in Texas?

Michael Robotham Life or Death began with a small newspaper story about a man who escaped from prison the day before his expected release. I decided to set it in the US because America has a great history of prison based or inspired stories such as The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Initially I planned to set in in Arkansas and spent several weeks in the Ozark Mountains researching locations until I realised I needed a more urban setting. I was touring a new novel in Texas and used that time to change the locations. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. Happy reading.

Martin asked Michael Robotham:

Hi Michael, I've got to ask you, do you ever get tired of answering the question of 'when will joe and vincent' return? I mean I'm always hoping the same thing too (and I really enjoy Cyrus and Evie as well) but is there a small part of you that feels as if you've been type casted to this series?

Nola B asked Michael Robotham:

It was remiss of me last night but I always like to ask the question of writers "What is your favourite word ?' My favourite is 'haberdashery"' both for the way it feels is your mouth and for what it stands for but I also love Zephr (not the car but the wind)
