Have you checked out the One for the Money fan page on Facebook yet? Its full of exclusive updates and sneak peaks into the movie and the books. This fan driven Q&A was featured on the page this week. Check it out and then head on over to Facebook and join the page for more updates.


Mellissa Feijoo Viro: I'm so glad that we will see these characters finally come to life on the big screen, so my question is with so many books in the series did you ever think about making these into series like on HBO, Showtime, Encore, Starz, or Cinemax? 

Janet Evanovich: I've thought about it from time to time, but I always wanted to see it on the big screen first ...mostly because of the car explosions! I think the car explosion in ONE is awesome!

Nancy Gorman: Hi Janet, after this year, will you be writing two books a year for the Stephanie Plum series or is it just this year only? 

JE: This was something special just for this year. Next year I'll publish WICKED BUSINESS in June and then the next PLUM in the fall.

Tabitha Dietz Engel: Can you gauge how absurd and hilarious a passage is when you write it? Do you ever start laughing out loud at parts of your work as you write/re-read them, for instance, when Lula's boob falls out her shirt while she's hanging out a speeding car's window shooting a gun? Does something that seems really funny to you ever fall flat for your editors, and if so, do you tell them to stick it? 

JE: Every now and then I write something that makes me laugh (like the scene in ONE where Grandma shoots the roast chicken), but my editors usually think my stories are funnier than I do. Lots of the absurd stuff in the books seems normal to me. I guess that tells you something about my life!!

Susan Ferrera Busardo: Do you see a conclusion to the series? 

JE: As of this moment ...no! I'm having too much fun. 

Abby Eskridge: Will we ever get to hear about the real "bat cave"?

JE: It's very possible! :-) 

Anna Bryant: Janet, where do you see Stephanie headed?

JE: I don't have a long term plan for Stephanie. I think she's like most of us who just put one foot in front of the other every day and try to move forward in a responsible, positive direction. 

Ruthann Cassleman: Would you/have you considered writing a book from Morelli's perspective and one from Ranger's perspective?

JE: No. I would never presume to know what's in a guy's head. I think it might lean heavily to football, sex, hotdogs, sex, and The Godfather movies. 

Suzanne Boisvere: Will we ever find out more of Ranger’s personal life? 

JE: I try to feed a tiny bit more of Ranger's personal life and motivations into each of the books, but for the most part I like that he's the mystery man. 

Phyllis Hargrave: Which character do you enjoy the most? 

JE: I love Lula. I love that she's such a survivor. And I've given her all my diet issues! 

Dianna Maxwell: Are any of the characters based on someone you know? 

JE: Most of the characters have bits and pieces of someone I know. Grandma Mazur, for instance, is a composite of my Grandma Fanny and my Aunt Lena.
