Vincent B. Davis II
You can fail at the things you don't want to do, so why not try the thing you do? If you have a story to tell, don't let the world choke you out of it. Your family will worry about student loans, your potential lovers will worry about how you'll earn money, the news will constantly report about the state of the economy. Just don't listen to it. If writing is what you really want to do, don't go work a 9-5 job because of "stability". You can get laid off at work, even as a top level executive. You can't really get fired as a writer. Which one has more stability? Difficult to answer, but I'm going to go where my passion wants to take me, and let the dice fall where they may.
Oh, and don't use too many adverbs.

Hi! Retired English teacher here who recently finished Bodies in the Tiber! Excellent! I reported on it to my bookclub this morning and another member just told me she's now "found" you and will be reading the Scrolls from the the beginning. I was fascinated with the guerrilla warfare aspect. Did your research indicate many parallels to modern guerrilla tactics? Marty M

I'm sure this has been asked before: when did you start writing and when did you realize it was your career? Loved Bodies in the Tiber and will definitely read more of your books. Your ability to put the reader in a time and place is admirable. I love historical fiction, but I have rarely encountered a writer who does it so well.
