A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Kathy Reichs:

I've read all 18 of the Tempe books and look forward to reading the next one. So much better & different than the "Bones" tv show, although I like that also. I was wondering if you will ever write a sequel to, or continue the "Two Nights" novel. I really liked the characters and story?

Lili
Lili asked Kathy Reichs:

First of all I would like to thank you for your amazing work! My question is in relation to the Bones series and how you lay out the plot of the books; do you start off with an idea of a 'villain' and then create your plot around that or do you have a more structured approach to planning out a book? Cheeky second question; has your style of writing developed as you've written more?

Wendy
Wendy asked Kathy Reichs:

How do you choose what to put in the story like have the story be all suspense or mix up the story with romance?
