I occasionally get questions and fan mail about my work, and to the best of my ability I try to respond personally to each and every one. Here are some of the answers I've given to various questions in the past month or so:

No, Drat is not based on a real person.
Yes, Detective Greg McMillan is.
No, I don't know where you left your car keys. (Did you check under the cushions of your sofa?)
No, I have never met a vampire in real life. (That I know of.)
No, I don't know why your Kindle won't connect to Amazon. Have you tried turning it off, and then on again?
