His notable works include: Gates of Fire, The Legend of Bagger Vance, A Man at Arms, The War of Art, Turning Pro, Do the Work, The Warrior Ethos, Tides of War, and over a dozen more. In this interview, we discuss how he is doing in the aftermath of losing his home during the California wildfires from 2025, how he is able to maintain his sanity and work ethic even though he lost his creative haven, why he decided to bring back the character of Telamon in his newest novel, how he decides whether or not to kill off a character or continue their story, how different it is writing fiction versus nonfiction, the reason why he feels the need to present a foil for intense characters that he creates, how the main character of The Arcadian relates to his own alter ego, what he is working on now, and much more.
