I felt that Ken Stott was the best to bring Rebus to life. The "tired, slightly dissipated, but yet brilliant" actor. Puffy flesh reminded you of his late nights with his drink and music. What do you think?

I know fans were happy with Ken Stott but I made the decision not to watch any of the TV versions because I wanted to stay true to my idea of Rebus and not be influenced by an actor’s interpretation.

I recently finished a book and self published, a very interesting and amazing experience. Friends, who are amazed that I've done it, ask what's it like, where do you get the inspiration? Strangely enough the best thing I can say to them is "Writing is just the same as reading, its as if I just read it" Is it the same for you? If not What? Cheers - Barry Cunningham
