There is a student in my high school who moved here (to the US) from Bristol. I know he likes thrillers so I recommended your books to him, and mentioned that a lot of your books take place in Bristol. Just now I was looking at your bio and saw that you seemingly have no (or few) connections to Bristol. What led you to base many of your novels there?
Michael Robotham
Many years ago, before I became a novelist, I was a journalist and ghostwriter. One of my collaborations was with Tony Bullimore, the round-the-world sailor who capsized in the Southern Ocean and triggered one of the most dramatic rescues in maritime history. Tony, now deceased, was a long time Bristol resident and I spent a few months in the city when we were working on the book.

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?

Hi, Michael. Two things; first... you are my favorite crime writer (I can't believe you aren't more famous). I don't know how you do your book tours, but I hope one day you come to Berlin, Germany. And the other thing, which is a question; ¿is there something you don't like about being a writer? Thanks
