How long did it take to write Stuff to Spy For?
Three days. That’s what I get for waiting til the last minute. Seriously, Stuff to Spy For took about six months. How did you get the idea? I always loved those movies from the seventies where a utility truck would pull up in the neighborhood and inside would be all of these recorders and cameras and they would set up surveillance at some guy’s house. That, in part, inspired Stuff to Spy For. Did you have to do any special research in writing Stuff to Spy For? If so, what did you research, and how? I met a guy named Jody who is a private eye with a spy store – a retail spy store, where you can buy all kinds of spy cameras, hidden GPS units. You wouldn’t believe all the stuff he has. I not only picked his brain, but made him a sleazy character in the book. He’s less sleazy in person. What did you enjoy most about writing Stuff to Spy For? I enjoy Skip and James. I love their interaction. How have James Lessor and Skip Moore evolved since you wrote the first Stuff novel, Stuff to Die For
