When he is writing he normally works from 9 am to 5 pm 7 days a week.
He said that it takes about a year and a half to complete a book.
There is another Dirk Pitt book completed and should be published in
about 6 months. The title has not been decided on. He has the car
collection, but does not have Dirk's planes or the bath tub.
He has made 5 tries to find John Paul Jones's ****p, but not success
yet. I got the impression that he is going to try again.
He is very personable and I would love to be able to visit with him
one on one for a while. If you ever get a chance to meet him I would
recommend it.
