Honey Regan asked Jodi Taylor:

Hi! there is something that has been on my head for literal years and would you ever make your books into an official series? For example the Time Police series. Full of development, attitude and mystery that would really draw in viewers. Wish I could talk to you personally about it I have so many thoughts (and I don’t want anyone to steal my ideas) and I would love to hear yours. I think it would do so well!!!

Jodi Taylor Hi, thanks for your question. Do you mean a TV series? I have mixed feelings about this. While it would be incredibly exciting - and flattering - a bad adaptation can be a bit of a disaster. I appreciate it's a different medium and things that work in books won't work on-screen and vice versa but there have been some examples of book adaptations where the original story is barely visible in the 'new treatment.' I believe there has been some interest in St Mary's over the years, but I suspect someone from their finance departments rings them and says, 'Are you all out of your minds? Do you have any idea how much this would cost?' and that's the end of it. Having said that, I believe there is a production company interested in serialising 'A Bachelor Establishment,' so we'll have to wait and see. All the best, Jodi.

It feels like ‘The Good, The Bad, And The History’ nicely tied up all the loose ends around Max’s story and passes the baton to Matthew and the Time Police stories. Was this the last of the Chronicles of St. Mary’s? Will we see more of those mysterious figures from the British Museum?

Elizabeth asked Jodi Taylor:

I was rereading "Just One Damned Thing After Another" and became curious over the reference to Butterfly Shoes? I have lots of sisters and a large number of female cousins most of them have extensive shoe collections. But I have never heard of Butterfly shoes. Information please.

Elizabeth asked Jodi Taylor:

I was looking to pre-order "Doing Time" on Audible and have been unable to find it. I know that the release is coming soon and have my Nook Book pre-ordered. Is Audible not going to carry this book? Thanks for any insight.
