Q & A with Andrew Shaffer Where did the idea for Hope Never Dies come from? The first time I saw Joe Biden in his Ray-Ban aviators, I thought, 'that guy’s an action hero.' The sunglasses, the suit, the dead-serious stare—you think you’re looking at James Bond. And then he opens his mouth and sticks his foot in it, and you realize he’s closer to Leslie Nielsen. I toyed with the idea of a solo Joe Biden novel for years, but it never went anywhere. When the Obama/Biden 'bromance' memes began circulating on the internet during their final months in office, I dusted off the idea of doing a Joe Biden send-up and tweaked it—namely, to add President Obama as the Sherlock to Joe’s Watson. Was it a challenge to write action scenes for a protagonist who is 75 years old? Surprisingly not! Joe Biden is in fantastic shape—I had to hobble him with a bum knee just to make things competitive between him and the bad guys. Do you have a particular favorite Biden-ism that you wrote? 'Pie à la mode. Hold the pie.'
