Love your work, all of it. Just finished rereading all of Anita’s books. After my second reading of the series I realized that I wanted more Jean-Claude. He is always being left behind. Most of his page time is much shorter than the other main characters. Even during major “battles” we don’t ever see him do much I am hoping he gets much more page time in the future and gets to show how bad ass he can be?

You're not the only reader that's asked for more on screen time for Jean-Claude lately. Anita has been doing a lot more books as a U.S. Marshal and when she's on the job it's hard to include Jean-Claude. I know that he will be more on stage in the next Anita Blake novel coming out in 2022.

I'm obviously way behind, since you announced the book over a year ago, but I'm really looking forward to Sucker Punch coming out. Can we look forward to a check in on Richard? I've been re-reading the early books and am feeling a little nostalgic for him, even though I understand why the distance had to happen for Anita & Jean-Claude. Thanks!

You were born in Heber Springs? Me too. If fact, most of my family live just down the highway (through a little valley, over a creek with a dirt road that floods pretty much any time it rains). I've never read one of your books, but am interested in the polyamorous relationship (in books, anyway) and your name kept popping up. I'm definitely reading one now. Anyone have a recommendation on which one?

The romance between Richard and Anita is what got me hooked. In the books, it seems that you have had her move past that because she doesn't have room in her life with vampire and shape-shifter business. What made you decide to move Anita and Richard's relationship burn out the way it did? Also, do you ever foresee Anita being a badass Bolverk.
