great!beginning: where did that idea come from? (one of the great mysteries)end: getting it out there, reviews etcwriting Reacher could be as strong a narrative as the Reacher adventure (possibly with fewer actual punch-ups, but you never know)

AndyI’m totally up for this, but we better figure out the how/where/when, because the process is about to start.Tomorrow I start on the concentrated launch promo for Personal, and then early next week I’ll start writing the 2015 book. So really coverage should start now, to show how writing and promoting are inevitably combined.So far I have no title, no real plot idea, but I have the opening pages in mind. I hope to get them down soon, and see what emerges after that.

Are you going to be in New York or what? I love the ‘no title no plot’ thing – this is like the genesis moment. Void and without form.

Yes, in NYC now, doing media etc, then on the road in Savannah, Georgia, Ireland and the UK between September 11th and 20th.

OK if I am going to do this SERIOUSLY (obviously a must), I’d better get right over there and talk it over asap. On the other hand I don’t want to get in the way if you are right in the middle of big media hoopla. On yet another hand, big media hoopla is a good part of the story. We start not at the beginning of this one, but at the end of the previous one … Basically, I don’t want you to start writing before I get there! Sounds as though you’re already writing it in your head. I feel I’ve got to be perched on your shoulder like some kind of pirate’s parrot for the first line … obviously could catch up with you readily here but I reckon I need to start looking for flights … how soon, from your point of view, could I pop up in NYC for purpose of prelim conversation? Am cancelling dinner with the PM of course.

Get here any time, sooner the better … but seriously, Monday or Tuesday next week wouldn’t be too late.

Excellent. Could start (early) on Monday – CBS TV in the morning, a Simon Mayo phoner to the UK in the afternoon, for a flavour of how it goes … plus Monday is 20 years to the day since I bought the paper to write Killing Floor.Let me know how you feel about that and I’ll give you the details.
