Hannah Kenyon asked Ian Rankin:

What are your influences for writing Rebus books?

Ian Rankin You should find long answer to this on my website at ianrankin.net

I recently finished a book and self published, a very interesting and amazing experience. Friends, who are amazed that I've done it, ask what's it like, where do you get the inspiration? Strangely enough the best thing I can say to them is "Writing is just the same as reading, its as if I just read it" Is it the same for you? If not What? Cheers - Barry Cunningham
