Knott, author of dozens of novels, shows you how with tips, examples and flair. The Writer's Digest Interview: Arthur Hailey, by Paul Nowack. "I'm not all that positive by nature," confesses the bestselling novelist, "As any professional knows, a disaster can follow a success. It's more likely. There are very few authors who write a succession of books that do well," But Hailey is one of them. His works--including Airport, Hotel and Wheels--have sold more than 20 million paperbacks, and that's not even counting his current title, The Moneychangers. The scoop on how Hailey researches and organizes his novels is in Hailey's M.O., by Joseph Filcher (page 31)--a gentle stimulant, spiced with Hailey's comment.
