Emma asked Douglas Preston:

What do you think of Rene Auberjonois's performance as Pendergast in the audiobooks? Do you, as one of the creators of these characters, have much of a hand in directing audiobook performances?

Douglas Preston We think his reading of Pendergast is excellent. But we have no input.

A Goodreads user asked Douglas Preston:

I've skimmed over other comments on The Kraken and a summary on the AI that goes rogue. The impression I'm getting is that some readers were expecting more of a Relic type creation with Dorothy. I take it that's not the case with this novel? Have you made her a sympathetic character? Will this start a movement for the EAI (Ethics of Artificial Intelligence) or ETAMA (Ethical Treatment of Artificial Moral Agents)?

A Goodreads user asked Douglas Preston:

how do you explain (to yourself) which books are very well liked and the ones that seem to fall flat? Do you experiment with different ideas to guage the reaction or do you write what you like and leave it at that?

KayGreins asked Douglas Preston:

Can you briefly tell me how you write your novels? From the idea to the outlines. Your preferences? And how you write them, the time? Do you encounter writer's block? And how you conduct your researches too. I want to write my first novel, but I'm nervous. I need an inspiration from you.
