Crimespree editor Jon Jordan points out that before the piece in The New York Times ran about Andrew Grant that they spoke to him first. He goes on to reprint the entire interview from issue #29.
Here is an excerpt:
Jon Jordan: Even comes out May 12th, is this the first book you wrote, or the first one you sold?
Andrew Grant: Both!
JJ: How long did it take to write EVEN?
AG: The basic ideas for EVEN were taking shape in my head for a couple of years before I quit my job, but once I was ‘free’ it took me almost exactly eight months to write the book.
JJ: It feels like a series to me, is that the case?
AG: Yes. Right from the outset EVEN was conceived as the first in a long-running series. I hope the world will want to see a lot more of David Trevellyan…
JJ: How did you decide on the type of character to write? Is it based on what you enjoy reading and watching?
AG: Every decision relating to EVEN was based on what I like to read. My plan was simple - to put in lots of the things that I enjoy in thrillers, and none of the things that I don’t.
