Chester Quinn asked Mark Greaney:

How long did it take before your first novel was picked up by an agent?

Mark Greaney I met the agent who would someday represent me in February of 2006 at a writers conference in San Diego. I gave him something of mine to read and he liked it but passed on representing me because he didn't think the story was something he could sell to an editor- he did like the writing, so he encouraged me to write something else. We stayed in touch and I gave him another book, which he also passed on. Finally, in February of 2008 he agreed to represent my book The Gray Man. He found a publisher in May of 2008.

Christian Orr asked Mark Greaney:

Greetings from the Middle East, Mark! "Support and Defend" was among the first books I read since I began my current deployment. Keep up the good work carrying on Mr. Clancy's (R.I.P.) legacy. I especially liked "Command Authority" and its timely relevance to current events in Russia and the Ukraine. So, is an ISIS-centered plot next up?

Evan asked Mark Greaney:

Hi Mark! As a long-time Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn fan, I was so delighted to discover The Gray Man series. Any plans or discussion to put Court Gentry on the big screen? He's the most compelling character I've encountered in a long time. Keep up the great work!
