Amanda M asked Blake Crouch:

I loved Dark Matter. It was the first book of yours that I read and I am looking forward to reading more. What are some of your strategies, as an author, to keep track of the timelines and characters in your stories as you write?

Blake Crouch I do a lot of outlining and actually draw timelines on my big whiteboard. I try not to start writing until I know exactly where the story is heading.

Jeffrey asked Blake Crouch:

While reading wayward pines, I was intrigued by the mention of the spyderco harpy knife, and went to amazon to check it out. I ended up ordering one, but what was funny was all the mention of wayward pines plot elements among the people commenting on the product. have you gotten any word of thanks from spyderco for giving them such a boost?

Alexandre Bittar asked Blake Crouch:

Hi Blake. I loved Wayward Pines books and Dark Matter, but I feel that both books left an "open door" at the end. Do you think that those books could have some continuance? I feel like I need a closure. (Sorry about the non-Native English grammar)
