Episode 007 opened with a new, but not-so-regular feature, a Q & A session, or more specifically, one question from a reader and one answer (to keep it brief). I started with the most frequently asked question: do I design my book covers? The short answer is yes and no. :) More details in the episode. 

This week’s book was The Good Thief’s Guide to Amsterdam, the first in a series about a globe-trotting mystery-solving thief. It is a bit different from my usual cozy-type read, but it is set in Amsterdam, after all, so we have to have some local color. 

This episode hit on author Chris Ewan’s inspiration and influences for the series, how he researches the different cities where the books are set, challenges in writing an anti-hero as a main character, and the always fun book-within-a-book theme.
