Michael Robotham:
I'm half way through the first book I've read of yours - Say You're Sorry (which I can't put down!). To my surprise it's set in the Abingdon-on-Thames area which is where I work! You write well about the are as though you are very familiar with it so I was surprised to find that you live in Australia. Have you visited this part of Oxfordshire?
Michael Robotham
Hi Lynne. I research all my books, which means, walking the streets and trying to capture the atmosphere. Initially I was going to set SAY YOU'RE SORRY in Oxford, but chose Abingdon because it suited the story better. FYI, I love Oxfordshire.

Hi Michael. Paul from Melbourne Australia here. I've just read all of your books in order non-stop, except the last one. I don't want it to end! They're all brilliant. It's like I've got an addiction and I'm running out of the good stuff. Question: do you write to a schedule? Is it one book per year like many others, or is it less structured than that?

Can you briefly tell me how you write your novels? From the idea to the outlines. Your preferences? And how you write them, the time? Do you encounter writer's block? And how you conduct your researches too. I want to write my first novel, but I'm nervous. I need an inspiration from you.
