Ask Bestselling Author Lawrence Block a Question discussion

Dear Mr Block,
How have the resources you have used to write fiction changed over the years? Do you rely on the Internet more for research these days into police procedures?
Many thanks,
Bill

Bill, I rely on the Internet for almost everything!

Thanks very much! I look forward to reading your latest Scudder book. Will you be touring the UK any time soon?

Nothing scheduled, no.

To all of y'all,
My gig here was supposed to be from May 28 to June 3, but I started early and have stayed on a few extra days, and while I've enjoyed the ride, it's taking too much time. So I'm signing off as of now. Some of you have friended me here, and I feel friendly toward you, but won't be active on this forum. And those of you who expressed an interest in following my reviews, well, I don't do reviews, so following them, while admittedly tricky, at least wont be time-consuming.

Again, thanks.

I'm sorry I was late to the party but what I was here for was fun and educational.

It's rare to actually be able to interact with an author of stature so this was special. Thanks!

One last thought—

I wrote afterwords for all my Open Road ebook titles, and they're being gathered together along with other material as AFTERTHOUGHTS; it amounts to a piecemeal memoir of my early writing days, and will be available soon as a 99¢ ebook. Meanwhile, you can read some of the pieces in my Kindle listings. Here's how to find them:

Go to Amazon and then to the Kindle store, search for a title, then scroll down, all the way below the reviews, to Discussions. If I've started a discussion of that title, click on it; if not, try another title. Searching can be problematic; I've found the best way is to search for title, author, and Open Road. Like so: "Warm and Willing Lawrence Block Open Road."

You don't have to buy the book to do this. You don't have to buy the book to participate in the discussion, either (and I hope some of you will be inclined to join in). You don't even have to own a Kindle.

I'll post this on the various topic boards here, in an effort to reach all of the folks Ive chatted with this past month so you may get sick of reading it. But I do want to get the word around. . .
