Mary-ann asked J.D. Barker:

Someone on FB posted that she was currently reading Harlan Coban's Tell No One and the alias of one of the characters is made up by taking her middle name as her first name and the name of the road she grew up on as her surname. Have you as an author ever considered this idea to invent a character's name? Think it would be fun to choose a name that way.

J.D. Barker Ha, no, I haven't tried that. I usually figure out how old my character is, then Google popular baby names from the year they were "born." For surnames, I have a copy of the white pages on my desk and I pick one at random that fits with their ethnicity.

I happened upon an old article from 2017 that mentioned The Fourth Monkey being produced as a series on CBS All Access. Is that still going to happen?

Taryn Weatherholtz asked J.D. Barker:

I just reread 4MK and Fifth to Die to refresh my memory for The Sixth Wicked Child. Is the Lost Chapter still hidden on your website or is it only on your Patreon page? I am driving myself bonkers trying to find it on your website. I really want to "solve the mystery," but now I am wondering if it is solvable...
