5/2/08

Thanks for leaving us hanging!! I was rolling right along reading the latest installment and then...nothing! Can't wait 'till June 1

The Flash book trailer also went up today. That might help take up some time while you're waiting. It's on the homepage in the Fearless Fourteen box-- Alex

When can we get more of Alex and her gang?

No plans for another Barnaby novel in 2009. We'll have to wait and se what happens for 2010.-- Alex

Is the release date for Fearless Fourteen the same in Canada as the U.S?

Yes.-- Alex

If you had the choice to make a movie out of any of the Stephanie Plum books which one would you choose and why?

Two for the Dough. I want to see the scene where Stephanie kicks Joe out of the car naked.-- Alex

I don't have a question, but am hoping you can pass my compliments on to Kimberly for her excellent drawings.

Will do! READER ART -- Alex

For those Plum fans in Australia you can also buy all the in-between novels in Kmart, Angus and Robertson, borders and online at www.fishpond.com.au (as well as all the 'Number' novels!)

Thanks!-- Alex

I was just wondering if Janet is going to be doing any book signings in Canada and whereabouts?

Afraid no Canadian signings this year. We were really hoping to go back to Toronto. We had a great time last year.-- Alex

instead of a movie, how about a TV series?

In all honesty we would rather have a movie. It's hard to compete with a weekly television show.-- Alex

Will you ever do any book signings in Ohio?

We were in Ohio last year for the Thirteen tour. I'm sure we'll be back in the future.-- Alex

thought I'd ask for an update on Joe's house. I see in the FF excerpt that he's rebuilt the garage after it exploded in EOT? But, no bar-b-que in the back yard?

Yup. The garage has been rebuilt. Joe has a little grill that he can tailgate with and store away in the winter.-- Alex

When is the new excerpt being put online for Fearless Fourteen? It's the first today (here in Aus) and I was hoping it would be up!

Afraid we're running on U.S. East Coast time. The excerpt is up now.-- Alex

how do you say joe's last name?

mo REL lee-- Alex

The book signing in Omaha. The bookstore told me it was at 7pm but your website says 6pm do you know what the correct time is going to be?

6 PM. I suspect they normally start signings at 7 PM and the person you talked to didn't know about the change. Not a big deal though. We'll still be there at 7 PM.-- Alex

When will you come on tour to england?

It's been forever since we've toured the UK. Hopefully we'll be back in 2009.-- Alex

Will the L.A. signing be just a signing or will there also be a Q & A etc. like in San Diego? When will the bands be given out at each event?

No. The signing in Santa Monica is just a signing. No Q&A or readings. We will still have balloons and stickers and stuff like that though. The stores will start handing out wristbands when they open in the morning. Wristbands are not limited in number. Janet doesn't leave until the last book is signed.-- Alex

I was wondering if I could get a update on the movie plans?

No update. Same old same old. Still working on a a script.-- Alex

Is Valerie still pregnant?

Yes.-- Alex

do you know if 16 will be the final book or is there a possibility she will continue on

It's possible that there will be another Plum after 16.-- Alex

In the Plum Series Plum Lovin is it 13 and Plum Lucky 14?

Lovin' comes after Twelve. Lucky comes after Thirteen. NOVEL LIST -- Alex

Why did you choose Trenton N.J. as the site for your Plum books?

Janet grew up just outside of Trenton.-- Alex

What is Lula's last name?

She doesn't have one. Like Cher and Sting.-- Alex

I was just wondering whether when Janet ends the series of Plum books whether she will let Rangers secrets out?

I hope not! Ranger would be ticked.-- Alex

I have got thinking about Hal now...he seems pretty sweet, actually. I'm thinking he met Ranger later than the Army. And maybe he is younger than Ranger and Tank?

Hal is younger than Ranger and Tank. He applied for a job at Rangeman through a common connection.-- Alex

Who is Lester?

One of Ranger's Merry Men.-- Alex

i was wondering if Joe was named after the baseball player Anthony Morelli from the Arizona Cardinals?

Nope. Just a coincidence.-- Alex

Will Mary Alice (Valerie's youngest daughter) who claims to be a horse, get to meet Doug that we met in Plum Lucky?

Stephanie takes her to visit him every now and then.-- Alex

What is the difference between the regular edition of a book and the book club edition? Why would a collector only want the regular edition?

Just the dimensions of the book. The content is the same. The retail book is rarer when it comes to first editions of a first book. Even better than the first edition in the retail size would be an ARC (advance reading copy).-- Alex

As a plus size woman myself -- I was wondering if Lula was actually obeast or just considered big-boned? Also, where does she get all of these wild XL clothes from?

She's more like "a lot of woman". It's easy to find crazy clothes, two sizes too small when you shop out of Joey "the thumbs" car trunk.-- Alex

What's up with Morelli's Ducati? I don't think we've seen it since he got custom pipes and paint?

Still has it. Mostly he goes for rides on his days off.-- Alex

Who does Janet's husband resemble more: Ranger or Joe?

Joe, but he likes to think he's more a Ranger.-- Alex

When will the paperback version of Motor Mouth be released?

It was released in July of 2007. You should be able to find it in your local bookstore.-- Alex

I have been trying to get a auto copy of "Three to get deadly" in a unabridged version. Were can I find one?

www.recordedbooks.com.-- Alex

What are Frank's thoughts on Stephanie's chosen profession?

He worries about her. But knowing the line of Mazur women, not much good is going to come in trying to talk his daughter into a safer job.-- Alex

I was just wondering if you could do the Actor Studio questionnaire for Grandma Bella?
Lucky for you Judy also interviewed Grandma Bella.
