Kristglo
Kristglo asked Linwood Barclay:

No question? Just a note to tell you how much I appreciate your books, your style, and your efficient touch of humour even in the midst of the most gruesome situations sometimes. I am French but I love reading your books in English. I cannot help smiling reading your witty retorts to some stiff reader wanting you to change your "offensive" vocabulary, not fully grasping the subtlety of "le second degré". Bravo!

Grace
Grace asked Linwood Barclay:

If someone asked you what is the most important key in becoming a published author what would you say?

Ann Marie
Ann Marie asked Linwood Barclay:

Hi I have not started reading the Promise Falls Trilogy but I just started reading Parting Shot and chapter 2 references the trilogy, is Parting Shot a stand alone novel? Do I need to read the trilogy first?
