(Guest blog by next Sunday's chat guest. See our Schedule page for more info on Bill.)

Hello, I am looking forward to chatting with you all this Sunday evening. It's a rare opportunity to discuss not only my books, but also what lies behind the books. For example, how I made the decision to jump into the black abyss of writing historical novels in today's challenging publishing environment.


I can't say I didn't know better. I have been in the book publishing industry my entire career. I knew how imposing the odds were stacked against me. Still I persisted. Why? What motivates writers to ignore those odds and push ahead come-what-may?


If my experience should entertain you, wonderful. If it should inspire you, all the better. But I can promise you we'll have fun chatting together on Sunday.
