Spencer Quinn answered Wrenn Nicodemo's question: Please don't change anything about your Chet and Bernie books! Just keep writing them. (I'm required to include a question mark apparently...?) That's my plan! A Farewell to Arfs comes out in a few weeks but it's no farewell to the series. (A reader suggested title.)

Spencer Quinn answered Lis Carey's question: So, I love your dogs, all your dogs, they're so totally dogs. Your cats, though... Queenie, for instance (listening to Bark vs. Snark, right now), reads like a not very friendly stereotype. And all your dogs hate cats. As someone who grew up with both, and has lived all my life until very recently with both, that's disturbing. Can you do some more realistic cats? Please? I'll try! There are no cats in A Farewell to Arfs, the next C&B, but maybe after that ...
