Michael asked Caimh McDonnell:

Hi Caimh, two questions if you don't mind. 1. In Welcome to Nowhere Smithy is offered Vicodin for his flight anxiety, which - as we all know - is the opioid painkiller Dr. House is addicted to. Did you mean to write Valium instead, or is this a subtle commentary on the opioid crisis? 2. Was Banecroft inspired by Douglas Reynholm (Matt Berry) from the IT Crowd?

Caimh McDonnell Hi Michael,

Apologies for the slow response. To be honest, that might have been an error on my part - although I am tempted to claim it was a very subtle piece of satire!
As regards to the Matt Berry character - not really although I can see where you're coming from. The reality is there's probably quite a few 'nightmare bosses' characters that you can compare him too that appear in TV shows.

Thanks for the questions.

Hi Caimh, also, I hope Bunny at one point will reunite with his friends from Dublin and I really hope you will write more stories from the past with the young Deccie…. ? I absolutely love that kid! His interactions with Bunny are the funniest pieces of your books…. Also, I would definitely like to hear more from the nuns :) Thank you for writing these unbelievably funny books. They have given me a lot of pleasure!

Gwen asked Caimh McDonnell:

Caimh, I haven't laughed out loud this much reading in a long time. Thank you! I'm obsessed with the McGarry Stateside series! That cliffhanger on Book #3 was almost too much – could we get an idea of when Book #4 is coming out, pretty pretty please?

Erika

Erika asked Caimh McDonnell:

Hi Caihm, here I am again requesting or demanding audio-editions of your books, I want to "read" all releases! At this moment There is 3 books not availible in audio: Welcome to Nowhere, Good Deeds and Bad Intentions, Bloody Christmas. I hope Morgan C Jones is well and hasn't lost his voice so these remaining to-be-voiced works of yours will soon be sounding in my eager ears. So do you have any idea about if or when?
