In the 27th July/3rd August issue of the UK publishing trade publication The Bookseller there is a two page interview with M.C. Beaton. The interview covers her early life in Glasgow, growing up reading voraciously before taking a job in a bookshop, and eventually her career in journalism.

The interview focusses on the 20th anniversary of Agatha Raisin this year, punctuated by the release of the 23rd Agatha Raisin novel, Hiss & Hers, in the UK on the 4th of October 2012. But being a trade publication, it also highlights her sales record with nearly 800,000 copies of Agatha Raisin novels sold in the UK to date.
