Could
you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Writing as Eric
Wilson I have created 22 mysteries for young readers (please visitwww.ericwilson.com).
All 22 remain in print, with 2-million sold in English and almost as many in
Spanish. These books feature adventure and suspense, so I challenged
myself to write the same way for adults. The resulting novel "Love
and Death in Paris '97" has been enthusiastically received and a sequel is
in the works.
For this novel
I employ the pen name Eric Hamilton.

What
was the hardest part of writing your book?
Planning the
story took a lot of effort. I wrote many plot notes --
hundreds of pages -- and carefully created every character. I
also did a special time line for the month of August 1997 so that I could
incorporate the highlights of the developing romance between Diana and
Dodi. Readers have told me the story is so real that it's like they are
living through every moment.
What
books have had the greatest influence on you?
Many books, starting with the Hardy Boys! Those classic adventure
stories inspired my love of words. Now my goal is to promote
literacy -- my books are written to be easily understood, and they are filled
with colorful settings and compelling themes.
