Derek asked Ian Rankin:

Hi Ian, What was the journey from Rebus novels to TV adaptations? Thanks, Derek Thompson

Phil asked Ian Rankin:

Hi Ian, having just finished Even Dogs In The Wild, which I loved, I have to say I hope you never stop writing. Do you envisage a time when Siobhan and her team are the sole focus of your novels? Either way, keep up the excellent work!
