Margaret
Margaret asked Joanne Harris:

Do you have any writing rituals or things you must have to begin?

Joanne Harris Not really: but every time I sit down to write, I just read the passage I wrote the previous day aloud. It helps me get back into the voice.

Dorotea
Dorotea asked Joanne Harris:

I got my copy of "The strawberry Thief" yesterday! I'm so happy you decided to write another sequel and I can't wait to get started on it and to see Vianne and Annouk again! As a writer how do you know when to continue a story and when it would be better to leave it where it is?

Elsa
Elsa asked Joanne Harris:

Hello Mrs. Harris, love everything you write, I was wondering if there will be a 3rd book of Loki's... adventures, the 2nd was Loki's testament and please write the 3rd?!! I mean Loki left the 'other Gods there'. Loved A pocket full of Crows, and The Blue Salt Road. Best wishes Elsa, from Lisbon

Trish
Trish asked Joanne Harris:

I loved the Gospel of Loki, and that led me to read Runemarks and Runelight. Are you likely to revisit the world of your Rune books?
