Joanna asked Bruce Beckham:

Are you as addicted to fishing and fellwalking as Skelgill? Or is his knowledge of and passion for both from picking the brains of those who are? At any rate, many generations of my mother's paternal ancestors were from Clifton, Bolton and Penrith, so I'd always had the impression all of Cumbria was a vast wasteland. Thank you sooo much for changing that perception forever!

Bruce Beckham Actually birdwatching is my main thing (which you might notice creeps in from time to time). I have fished a lot in the Lakes - not as successfully as Skelgill, however - and I do have to confess to ticking off all the hills, although at a more sedate pace.

It's nice to hear you have connections in the area - I think it's one of those places that, the closer you look, the more you find.

Thanks for your kind feedback.

Ann asked Bruce Beckham:

Bruce: I just now saw your generous offer from 10-2-16 to download a free copy of your latest book, MURDER IN ADLAND. Alas, I have no KINDLE, or any other device with which to download your book, and prefer to read the hard/soft copy of a book. Will there be such a thing for this series?Ah, well, maybe when I get paid employment I can BUY a copy. Ta and cheers, Ann Freggens Flynt

Jean Samuel

Jean Samuel asked Bruce Beckham:

Food plays a prominent role in the stories. I always eat before reading so I won't be tempted to run to the kitchen. My question is this: Do the non-fictional people of the Lakes District adore bacon rolls, sausage, pastries and curry (?) as much as your two male characters do? Although, I suspect DS Jones bags her lunches. I appreciate how your characters march along unfettered by you. It is fantastic. Jean
