First off love your books and I thought Elevator Pitch and Never Look Away were top notch suspense! Do you pattern some of your characters off people you've known in your life?

Linwood Barclay:
I have enjoyed reading all your books. I have just read a book I found on Amazon called "Mike Harris made me eat my dog" I think it was great, and wondered if you had thought of doing a similar book on Ont.'s present Premier Doug Ford. You wouldn't have to even make up funny quotes, he says them himself. Anyone that can make Donald Trump sound like a genius is a book waiting to be written. Will you think about it?

I'm quickly making my way through all of your books and did not realize that some of them are tied to others. I'm glad to see that even when a book is connected to another in some way, like Never Saw It Coming and the No Time for Goodbye duology, that there aren't any spoiling factors to ruin previous works. Will we ever get to see Keisha Ceylon again??
