I read more history books than anything else.

I read all the time... I read a lot of history books.

I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.

I actually love history. I've devoured book after book of stories from World War I and World War II. They're really two sections of world history that really interest me.

I actually love history. I've devoured book after book of stories from World War I and World War II. They're really two sections of world history that really interest me. I knew very extensively a lot about World War I.

I like writing historical fiction.
