Hi, Greg!
I am a big fan of all your work, especially your novels. (Although I do love Checkmate, Q&C and 52, as well) With each new book I see you grow as an author and enjoy it ever more. I haven’t read Patriot Acts yet (looking forward to it), but I recently had such a good time with Private Wars that I was actually sad when I ran out of book. :-)
I am very intrigued at the amount of details and information you include in your novels, particularly in the two Q&C ones. I think it is commendable the amount of effort you put into crafting a great thriller while remaining as realistic as possible. I am sure in Q&C real facts are meshed with the ones you create, but the fusion is so good they are thoroughly convincing.
I would love to learn about the research process you have for your novels. I realize this might be like asking a chef for his secret recipe and, if it is so, I apologize in advance. However, if you have given any interviews or have made previous posts here or in your blog on the subject, I would be grateful if you could point me to them. I am sure your comments on this part of the creative process would be very interesting and educational.
Anyhow, congratulations for your outstanding writing career, and thank you for producing such fine books, as well as for staying so close in touch with your readers.
All the best,
DW
