Catching up with Robert Crais
by Oline H. Cogdill
January 17th, 2010Once authors go on book tour, their time is never their own. Instead, their days are filled with catching planes – and we all know how pleasant that is now – to driving to a local event to, the most important thing of all – meeting their fans and avid readers.
I was lucky enough to catch up with Robert Crais over the holidays as he was preparing to go on tour for his new novel The First Rule. While this is in his Elvis Cole series, The First Rule belongs to Joe Pike. It’s the second time Crais has made Joe Pike the center of his story; here Elvis takes the backseat to Joe.
Through a series of e-mails, Crais answered a few questions. The complete interview was done for another publication and is here.
And here is a link to my review of The First Rule.
But here are two questions exclusive for Mystery Scene readers.
Q: A recent NEA study mentioned that mysteries are the most popular genre of book. What’s your take on this?
Crais: Of course we’re the most popular genre. We’re the most fun.
Q: Lee Child has his Reacher Creatures. You have your Craisies. Are they always at book signings?
Crais: Oh, yeah. They travel in packs.
