BOOKS YOU’LL LOVE: THE STORY BEHIND THE STORIES
“And why did you write that book?”
Authors hear that question everyday. “What’s hidden within the folds of the story? What secrets created the tale you’re telling?” When the book is non-fiction, the riddle may even be more intriguing. During the decades that I wrote my 32 published books, these are the back pages behind the headline episodes. Here are the fascinating scenes behind the big picture.
Hope you like them.
THE ASSASSINS
Just released on Nook and Kindle as well as in ebook form, The Assassins grew out of time I spent in Russia back in the ‘80s. The Soviet Union was certainly waning and change was in the air. Later, I saw a picture of Vladimir Putin dressed as a tourists taking a picture of Ronald Regan on visit to Russia. Clearly, Putin standing there with his little camera looked like any tourists, happening on to an important state visitor. Obviously, he was not.
