Kerstin asked Linwood Barclay:

Will any of your books be made into films? I think No time for goodbye Would be a great film.

Linwood Barclay There have been two adaptations. The Accident was made into a six-part TV series in France, called L'Accident. And I wrote the screenplay for my book Never Saw it Coming, which was made into a film in Canada starring Eric Roberts and Emily Hampshire, of Schitt's Creek fame. So far, it's only been available in Canada. Eric McCormack, of Will & Grace, tried for about four years to make No Time for Goodbye into a movie. He wrote a screenplay for it and wanted to star. But it never came together, sadly. Several of my other books are in development for possible TV shows or movies, but nothing is definite yet. All the best.

Why is your book named Stone Rain? Nobody in our book club could figure out what it was in reference to. We all loved the book though. this is the third one of your books we've read now.

A Goodreads user asked Linwood Barclay:

I've finished reading The Promise Falls books. Am I correct in assuming in The Parting Shot that Jeremy shot his mother? What has been done about the Ron Frommer murder case that Albert was involved in?

Jamie asked Linwood Barclay:

I've noticed that aspiring author groups focus solely on writing skills which is fine. But I don't understand how they seem to ignore altogether the craft of storytelling. What's your view on the importance of writing skills compared with that of the craft of storytelling?
