Rose71344 asked Linwood Barclay:

ordered the book No Time for Goodbye-good book but I don't understand why you need to included very bad language not necessary for enjoying the book, to bad I probably will not order another book by you to afraid of the language that it may contain, to bad!!! can you please rethink your wording,? would not want to recommend any of your book.

Linwood Barclay Hi Rose: I've always felt people should read what gives them pleasure, and if you encounter something in a writer's work that offends, you should read something else. I've always wanted to write the way I think people under incredible stress would talk. I wrote No Time ten years ago, and I think there may be less profanity in my more recent books, but it's definitely still there. I find it somewhat curious that people are happy to be entertained by depictions of violence and great cruelty, so long as it is done without objectionable language. I think the acts depicted are more obscene than the actual words. Thanks for your kind note, and have a wonderful day. Linwood

Hi Linwood, I have read and reread over and over every single one of your books, any book written by you is my go to book when I don't have a new book to read! I am yet to read Parting Shot as I can't afford to buy it just yet (i recently had a second daughter so money is tight!) but when can we next expect a new book from yourself? 2018 or 19? Also, is there any authors you would recommend? Thank you, India.
