Cheers Jodi! I am sure you've been asked this before, but I couldn't easily find an answer, and I'd rather ask you than my friend Echo (aka ChatGPT). What made you decide to start writing at age 60?

Jodi Taylor I was living and working in Turkey and I got the chance to retire. A chance to lie around in the sun and do nothing. Which was wonderful for three weeks and then I was bored so I thought I'd see if I could write a book. There was no intention to publish - I just wanted to see if I had the mental discipline. And then some friends took me to lunch in the fish market and there was wine and they persuaded me to self publish Just One Damned Thing After Another on Amazon. I didn't have a clue what I was doing but the gods of publishing must have been smiling on me because it did rather well. No one tells you how addictive writing is - and forty novels and short stories later I'm coming to the conclusion I can't stop. I shall probably still be banging away on my laptop as they lower me into my grave!

Bryon Hoskins asked Jodi Taylor:

Hello Jodi, Love both Time Police and COSM. I’ve caught up on Time Police and currently reading book 5 of COSM. I have managed to procure hardcover editions of 1-6 but 7-14 seem to have only been published in paperback. Before I buy the paperbacks I wanted to confirm that hardcovers do not exist after book 6 and if so why? Also, please tell me Max makes it to Thermopylae eventually.

Kat asked Jodi Taylor:

Firstly, I adore the St. Marys Chronicles and can't wait for the next installment. I listen to the audio books as it takes me a long time to read (I get frequent headaches) Zara Ram is a marvel as Max. As I still love books and enjoy owning them I would be so happy to display The Chronicles on my bookshelf, I am in hope that you will one day release a special hardback box set (before Xmas would be good)? ;)
