Linda asked B.A. Shapiro:

The Art Forger is one of my favorite books. Have just gotten my hands on The Muralist and I know that I will devour this one like delicious dark chocolate. Please tell me that you are working on another stellar offering within the art theme. Can we expect another in the world of art? We fans just can't get enough.

B.A. Shapiro Linda: I'm happy to tell you that I am working on another novel about art -- as well as history a mystery and some romance thrown in, similar to both The Art Forger and The Muralist. This one is set in the 1920's and takes place in Philadelphia and Paris -- where all the post-Impressionist and early modern artists are hanging out at Gertrude Stein's salon with Hemingway and Fitzgerald. A possible murder and lots of cons and con men. Having a lot of fun. Hope you like The Muralist. Thanks for writing.

Maria Liberati asked B.A. Shapiro:

Love that many of your books have an art theme. I have been doing a podcast (The Maria Liberati Show) that combines food with art, culture and travel) My next segment is about the city of Mantova Italy which was famous for, among other things, being the location of many art dealers and artists representatives. Wanted to find out if you would be available for a short audio interview for the segment? Maria Liberati

Brian asked B.A. Shapiro:

I'm a little late to the game as far as finding The Art Forger and Goodreads. I absolutely loved The Art Forger. Just a wonderful story. Thank you for writing it. My question: Have you thought about revisiting the Claire Roth character? With all that she went through and learned, you could do some interesting things with her character.

Peter Herrmann

Peter Herrmann asked B.A. Shapiro:

Do you do any painting, yourself? - and if so, do you exhibit? Asking because you seem to know about technique (as well as history). I enjoyed the Muralist last year, and am mid-way through 'The Art Forger' - enjoying it (and learning much from it) it immensely.
