Hi! I really enjoy experiencing your books. They are thrilling! My question, and please pardon me if you have been asked this before, is who do you see in your mind's eye when you write about Agent Pendergast? Do you imagine who would play the part of Pendergast if another of your novels was made into a movie? And if you do, what actor would you like to see portray him?
Douglas Preston
Thank you Kathy. Pendergast is a real person to us, more real in some ways than actual people we know. To me he looks like the young Christopher Walken. Walken is too old now but Benedict Cumberpatch might make a good Pendergast, if he can handle the New Orleans accent.

Mr. Preston, This is an honor to ask you a few short questions. Is there a time of day that you prefer to write? Do you like to write in one special room or area? What is your favorite cocktail when writing? Do you prefer a tangible book or reading off a tablet? Finally, do you read one book at a time or multiple books at a time? Thank you so much for your time and attention, Matt P.S. I loved White Fire!
