Archer Mayor :: Three Can Keep A Secret

Come out to the Galaxy on Tuesday, November 12 at 7PM to spend an evening with Archer Mayor and his new book Three Can Keep A Secret.

1.  How did you come to write the Joe Gunther series?  Did you realize when you started the first one that it was going to be a series?

AM:  I did intend it to be a series, but had no idea at the start how long it might become. I am surprised but pleased by its longevity. I chose Joe and his stories to serve as social anthropologies more than mysteries, since I am interested by people's abilities or inabilities to sort things out while in crisis.

2.  What book or books are your favorite(s)?

AM:  The one that's in my head — I haven't messed it up by writing it yet.

3.  What's your favorite line or quote from a book?

AM:  Can't think of one offhand.

4.  What are you reading currently?

AM:  Just wrapping up Atkinson's The Guns At Last Light.
