Chris Calder: Travellers. Commuters, folk on holiday, people who cannot bear to engage in idle gawping (or dozing) when they can spend time turning pages to see what happens next. My professional editor called my latest novel “a great beach read”. I was mortified until I realised that it was actually a compliment. He's right.
* '''BB: Your latest novel [[Celeste Three is Missing' by Chris Calder|Celeste Three is Missing]] is about a fictional attempted hi-jack. Would you like to tell us something about it?'''
CC: I have always been fascinated with just about everything to do with aviation. I had been following the progress and development of the Virgin Galactic space plane when the tragedy of Malaysian Airways MH370 occurred. There followed a 'what if?' moment. What if a revolutionary craft, perhaps something like Virgin's Galactic, disappeared without trace? And under what circumstances could such a thing happen?
