Writing Talk par Alex Hamilton
It’s obvious that Alex Hamilton is an interviewer par excellence. He has managed to draw out so much from the writers. There’s something about the style of presentation that is so charming. You feel like you’re visiting with him and he’s talking about these authors he’s had the pleasure of meeting. He reports conversations and then gives you a background too.

The book is an absolute treasure trove. It gives you insights into the personalities of so many authors and a background into their books – the characters and stories created.
