Spencer Quinn Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Still time to figure that out. I'll have it posted on my tombstone. Q. Which living person do you most admire? A. Prominent people are so worn down by overexposure I find it hard to really admire any of them. Instead these days I seem to be admiring nameless people I see who just keep doing what they have to, sometimes with humor and grace. Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be? A. Right here - I love Cape Cod. Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. Human overpopulation. Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. If You Were Mine (Billie Holiday), Black and Blue (Louis Armstrong), Recondita Armonia (Jussi Bjoerling), He Stopped Loving Her Today (George Jones), Milky White Way (Elvis Presley) Learn more about Spencer Quinn
