Here at The Book Studio, we're quite fortunate to have many "local" authors who are nationally known. Well, "known" might not be the best word when it comes to Fairfax County's own David Baldacci. How about "famous?"
No matter how many books Baldacci sells, he always has time for readers -- so we're delighted that he has returned to us for a second interview. The first, which you can watch below, took place when this site was still in a growth spurt, and there's a big difference between the two. There is no difference, however, in Baldacci's cordial demeanor. He's a pretty unflappable and genial guy.
That's why it was kind of exciting to see him become animated when describing his next novel, which will be out in April this year. I want to tell you more about it, but you KNOW what I'm going to say, don't you? You have to watch to learn...

For those of you waiting for your next fix of "The Camel Club" from David Baldacci in Divine Justice, take a look at my interview with Baldacci. We talked about why Baldacci's Washington, DC is one of "undercover" justice, as well as why he's put an unlikely pair of characters together.

The Stupor Super Bowl is finished. (I kid, I kid; I actually watched this year and jumped out of my seat screaming when the Cardinals made their 4th-quarter touchdown...alas...) But doesn't that mean you have more time for reading, now?
You'll definitely want to make some time for David Baldacci's latest novel Divine Justice. It's got a few of his creepiest characters yet, as well as some amazing Camel Club adventures. If you want to learn more, you'll have to wait for our Wednesday video interview.

On the Literature Map, the closer two authors are located next to each other, the more likely that a person will like both of them. The map is experimental and based on the input of users. (We think it's kind of neat!)
