Michael Connelly and Janet Evanovich: Leader One-to-One Connelly: I go to the beach regularly on weekends. Board shorts are required and I wear flip-flops with the built in bottle opener. Comes in handy. In Florida we rarely have waves, unless there is a hurricane in the Gulf. So I have taken up paddle-boarding, which essentially involves a huge surfboard that you stand on and paddle. Still a balancing act, but simpler than surfing, and you don’t need waves.
Evanovich: What will a bookstore look like in 2020? Will we all be downloading?
Connelly: Excellent question. Since it is only eleven years from now, I reflect there will still be a levelheaded population of “ancient school” readers who need the book in their hands. The question is, will they get it at a bookstore or will we have a Kindle 9.0 contrivance that manufactures a book for you at home, perfect with photo of leader in a bomber jacket.
Evanovich: If everybody is downloading in 2020 what the heck will we be signing on book tour? Body parts? Kindle cases?
Connelly: I signed two Kindles yesterday. One person questioned me to place room for signatures from you and Dennis Lehane. So next time you’re in Seattle she’ll be in your line.
Evanovich: Do you eat when you write? Beer nuts? M&Ms? Just coffee? What keeps you from falling out of the chair in a narcoleptic stupor?
Connelly: Have you ever seen what eating Cheetos can do to a keyboard? I have to say I am addicted to Coke. I permanently have a glass of it nearby. I eat a lot of candy, too. Keeps me going. Smarties are a fantastic writing tool. I regularly need to raid my daughter’s stash and then there is distress on the home front.
Evanovich: Are you a messy guy or a clean guy? Do you keep mess on your desk? In your head? Are there soda cans and wrinkled quick food wrappers rolling around on the floor of your car?
Connelly: I keep a clean car but a desk that gets progressively messier as I write a book. When I am finished with the book, I clean up the desk—and eat all the stray Smarties establish under the red tape. The clean desk then promotes the start of the next book.
Evanovich: The new book, The Scarecrow sounds terrific, and I know it’s followed by Harry Bosch in Nine Dragons in the fall. Does your publisher prefer one series over another? And do you find one series to be more commercially viable than another?
Connelly: They let me do what I want. I like writing about Harry Bosch and he’s pretty well loved, but usually when I write a standalone it widens the audience a bit.
Evanovich: Want to meet me in a bar in Ft. Myers? Is that middle?
Connelly: Name the place. Buy Cheap The Scarecrow Online Related posts:

Yet another so-called mystery thriller where the criminal and his identity are revealed right from the start. I am momentously disappointed in Mr. Connelly who has cheapened an otherwise excellent mystery by removing much of the mystery right from page one. I amsad i bought this book for my Kindle before knowing this.

Like the Boshe novels. This one is so weak I can’t know why it was unrestricted. Dopey dialogue (Rachel says “gotta” a lot — not in character for her), silly character interaction (especially inconsistent wen it come to Rachel and Jack, an unsympthetic and uninteresting character to start with, who go back and into the world from remote from each additional to lovers with nothing to clarify how or why they bother), tells us, if anything, how dull and unimportant a friendless reporter’s life is. Yes, there are very terrible, perverted men in it,but we learn small about them either and so what? Pass this one up.

If you thought this tale was excellent, read the right and shocking tale of two evil sisters that unethically abscond with an inheritance of hundereds of thousands of dollars… Read Sisterly Deception by Joseph Pitt and you just might save your future inheritance.
