Noel Hynd

I've been a published novelist for longer than I care to admit, since 1976. I'm frequently asked, however, how I first got published. It's an interesting story and involved both Robert Ludlum and James Baldwin, even though neither of them knew it --- or me --- at the time.

My first agent, a wonderful thorughly perofessional gentleman named Robert Lantz was representing Mr. Baldwin at the time. This was around 1975. Balwin, while a brilliant writer, had had some nasty dealings with the head of Dell Publishing. Dell held Jimmy's contract at the time and he could not legally write for anyone else until he gave Dell a book that was due to them. Nonetheless, he refused to deliver a manuscript to Dell and went to Paris to sit things out.

Brian Walker

From an early age, I was drawn to books. When my parents took me to the shopping mall, they’d drop me off at the bookstore and return hours later to find me still wandering the aisles, lost in pages. At my grandmother’s house, I was captivated by her set of World Book Encyclopedias—each visit meant pulling a new volume off the shelf and discovering something I hadn’t known before. It was clear even then: I had a deep love for reading.

Over the years, that love turned into a passion for collecting and devouring books, especially in the realms of history, historical fiction, and thrillers. For a long time, I carried story ideas in my head, unsure if I’d ever write them down. Eventually, I found the courage to begin—transforming scattered thou
