Matthew Mckissick
Matthew Mckissick asked Douglas Preston:

Mr. Preston, This is an honor to ask you a few short questions. Is there a time of day that you prefer to write? Do you like to write in one special room or area? What is your favorite cocktail when writing? Do you prefer a tangible book or reading off a tablet? Finally, do you read one book at a time or multiple books at a time? Thank you so much for your time and attention, Matt P.S. I loved White Fire!

Jeffrey Poole
Jeffrey Poole asked Douglas Preston:

Is Pendergast based on a real life character or is he 100% original? Do you find it difficult making your characters relatable and realistic? By the way, I love your books. I literally will finish a title in a single sitting. Keep up the good work!

Ami
Ami asked Douglas Preston:

Your new book, The Kraken Project, features artificial intelligence software. Is this an interest of yours in real life?
