Alexander McCall Smith:
What I find surprising is that, although you are a professor in Medical Law and an expert in Bioethics, you do not have a doctor as main character in your novels. Forgive my ignorance if I am wrong, but it seems only natural that you wrote about people and environments you are so familiar with. Would you contemplate this option for future novels?
