Lourdes Haviland asked M.C. Beaton:

Hello! I have read all of your Agatha and Hamish books and adore them. They are like old friends that I relate to and whose company I look forward to. Every time Agatha's hip twinged, mine would, too! I'm there! You are such a wonderful writer. I wish you all the best! Ok, on to my question: will Hamish ever accept promotion and maybe even take the horrible Inspector Blair's job?

This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

I have often read that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle became resentful of his character's, Sherlock Holmes, popularity. Do you ever feel that way about Agatha or Hamish? Are there other books that you would rather write instead?
