Alexander McCall Smith:
How has the study of law been beneficial in your writing career? Or, do you think it has been a deterrent to writing creatively?
Alexander McCall Smith
I think law is a useful background for a novelist. All of human life may be observed in the law. One has to be careful, though, not to let it inhibit the imagination! AMcS

Alexander McCall Smith:
Dear Mr. Smith, Thank you so much for being my favorite author for many years now when I started reading The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series which was only 2 books at that time. I have looked forward to all of the books in each series, but have especially loved the books of Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld. Will there be any more books featuring the dear Professor and his adventures?

Alexander McCall Smith:
I don't actually have a question for you but I want to say I love your books especially those about Precious and her friends. Thank you for writing. They insist I ask a question so here goes. Is there any chance you'll take part in the library talks when your next book appears? 0 My library is Kensington Central and I'd be happy to request your participation if you are agreeable to that.
