Christine PNW asked Joy Ellis:

I am obsessed with Richard Armitage's narrations of the Jackman and Evans series, and have listened to three of them in a little over a week. I would love for these to be adapted for a BBC mystery series similar to Vera with Brenda Blethyn, with Richard Armitage as DI Jackman. Is there any talk of an adaptation? I think that your books would make a fantastic television series. The Fens are so atmospheric.

Joy Ellis So glad you are enjoying them! I feel very much like you! Richard IS Jackman as far as I'm concerned, and he'd be brilliant if it were to become a TV drama. That's my dream anyway. All I can say is that there has been talk, but no more than that at present, but if anything ever came of it, Richard would have to be Jackman! Let's all keep our fingers crossed, shall we? Maybe even a little prayer?

Hilary asked Joy Ellis:

I've been reading the DI Gelena books (just about to start book 11) and they've gotten me through lockdown here in Vancouver, Canada! Thank you, thank you! I hope there is a book 12, 13... etc. I also love Matt Ballard books and literally, just finished The Dying Light 5 mins ago and NEED another Ballard book - will there be more? Please.I love Jackman and Evans too.

I am amazed at the creativity you possess. How do you do it? I am currently deep in the Matt Ballard series and am awestruck at how you have shifted gears in that one. Although part of the same universe, it is strikingly different from the other series. I still can not get over how you have described the blood in Five bloody hearts. I also have Stella's story line up. Looking forward to many more from you.

Adarsh asked Joy Ellis:

Hi Joy! 'Beware the Past' is one of the best crime thrillers I've ever read. I loved it so much. I’ve now started with the DI Nikki Galena series. As someone who religiously takes notes while reading detective novels, I noticed that there is a character called Rory Wilkinson who appears as the medical examiner in both books. Do all your books take place in a shared universe (like the MCU!)? Will there be crossovers?
