I want to hear about the writers you want to hear on this show.

I've been getting a lot of great booking ideas from you guys.

Welcome to Dedicated with Doug Brunt.

You have just gained access to an exclusive insider's look at the lives and works of some of your favorite authors.

And hear conversations with the world's greatest writers as they discuss their writing lifestyle, creative process, latest work, and behind-the-scenes revelations.

Welcome to a special episode of Dedicated.

I'm your host Doug Brunt.

As listeners of this show know, since episode one back in the fall of 2022, I end each episode

right when my guest and I are at least one or two drinks in with a series of quick,

fun questions

that I call the Lightning Round. Some of these questions are for every guest, like the books

you're reading now to recommend to listeners, or your least attended book event ever. Others are

tailored to specific guests, like Rick Springfield's thoughts on the best rock band frontman ever.

Our executive producer Mike

Paco has compiled a best of the lightning round, drawing mainly from our season one guests.

So please enjoy and please leave comments with your thoughts and suggestions for us. And have a

happy new year. Now here is Lee Child with his thoughts on who Reacher's love interest might be, perhaps a certain

former cable news anchor.

All right, this last question is going to be important to all Reacher fans out there.
