Metro News columnist Richard Crouse interviews award-winning author Joseph Kertes on the creative process he went through to write his new novel, The Afterlife of Stars
Across seventeen novels, nine of them adapted for film, Sparks has become one of the world’s best selling and most beloved authors, and he hasn’t slowed down a bit. “What I’m most proud of in my own career is: I never got lazy,” Sparks said during our interview earlier this summer, at Amazon’s Seattle campus, with this publishing legend. “I’ve heard rumors that some people have actually shed tears over some of my novels,” he joked. The interview is a long one--almost 45 minutes--but fans will enjoy hearing Sparks talk about his work habits, and how sales of The Notebook seem to spike whenever Ryan Gosling takes off his shirt.
Joined by BBC Radio 4's Today programme presenter, James Naughtie, James Robertson discussed his epic novel, And the Land Lay Still, launching it to great enthusiasm at the 2010 Book Festival.
