I'm drawn particularly to stories that evolve out of the character of the protagonist.
From David McCullough
I work very hard on the writing, writing and rewriting and trying to weed out the lumber.
I love Dickens. I love the way he sets a scene.
I had been writing for about twelve years. I knew pretty well how you could find things out, but I had never been trained in an academic way how to go about the research.
I can fairly be called an amateur because I do what I do, in the original sense of the word - for love, because I love it. On the other hand, I think that those of us who make our living writing history can also be called true professionals.
Every book is a new journey. I never felt I was an expert on a subject as I embarked on a project.
