You Can't Love What You Don't Know

No Harm's Done To History By Making It Something Someone Would Want To Read.

I Feel That As Much As I Enjoy Loafing, There Is Something Higher For Which To Live.

My Next Book Is Also Set In The Eighteenth Century. It's About The Revolution, With The Focus On The Year 1776. It's About Washington And The Army And The War. It's The Nadir, The Low Point Of The United States Of America.

People Often Ask Me If I'm Working On A Book. That's Not How I Feel. I Feel Like I Work In A Book. It's Like Putting Myself Under A Spell.
