[Samuel Marquis: What’s coming up]: Writing a book that is historically accurate and reads–and sells–well (with nods to Abraham Lincoln and Michael Keaton) Ep 1196
This is the final installment of my talk with Samuel Marquis, author of numerous books of history and historical fiction, including his newest, "Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal," a non-fiction look at one of the most notorious “pirates” ever, who also happens to be Samuel’s 9th great grandfather.
We talked about:
- A peek at his next book, about New York City in the 17th century
- Looking to historical figures as role models–and why his is Abraham Lincoln
- Why he wishes he could clone himself a la Michael Keaton in “Multiplicity”
- Why he’s done writing about World War II
- The historical time period he wants to devote his next five books to
- Balancing the drive for historical accuracy with a book that reads–and sells–well
- The series he stayed up late to finish (surprise! It’s historical)
- His really tantalizing sounding ideal meal
