Kim Ramirez asked Linwood Barclay:

I'm absolutely obsessed with your stories and characters, and thrilled to hear your new book A Noise Downstairs, is coming to the US July 24, 2018. Any idea if or when an Audible version might be coming? I've listened to every book currently offered on Audible, and the narrators have done outstanding job translating your work from written to spoken. Do you have any say in who narrates?

Linwood Barclay Thanks for the kind words, Kim. I have no reason to think A Noise Downstairs won't be coming out in audio. My publishers often, although not always, will send my audio samples of the narrators they are considering. I'll give them a quick listen and offer an opinion, although they're usually all good.

Eileen asked Linwood Barclay:

Typing and Latin, after reading, of course, are the skills I learned in school and continued to use constantly throughout my life. So I found "A Noise Downstairs" to be fun, familiar and frustrating. I was suspicious of the perpetrators from early on, but was impressed with how it was all carried off. In short, I liked this book. The use of the typed headers was clever. Did you have input on the design?

Lynn

Lynn asked Linwood Barclay:

I really enjoy the intricate plot lines, character development, and the range of emotions each scene is able to evoke on behalf of the characters and the situation presented by each of your stories. They always are riveting, making me care what happens to the characters, and flow from beginning to end. What do you believe is the most important part of the relationship between the author and his story?

Cathy Maher asked Linwood Barclay:

I'm surprised at how few of these questions mention your memoir, Last Resort. It made me laugh, and sometimes cry, and I could not put it down. There were so many parallels to my own childhood. We had a trailer on Rice Lake for 10 years. There was a "make-out rock" there too! Must be mandatory;) Do you ever think of writing a sequel to Last Resort to cover the next chapters of your life?
