William Martin: An American Author and His Love of History Reading is the foundation of a good writer and one of the most important skills to possess. It allows one to develop an arsenal of ideas and find unique ways to write about a topic. It also makes one a better writer by providing inspiration and developing writing skills. Join this conversation and meet William Martin, a “storyteller whose smoothness matches his ambition.” (Publisher's Weekly)   In his boyhood, William Martin loved what he later called "big stories on broad canvases." He read the historical novels of C.S. Forester and Esther Forbes. He sat transfixed by the big movies of the early sixties. So, after college, he went to Hollywood to try his hand at screenwriting but discovered that his instincts were better suited to novels. His first, "Back Bay," introduced treasure hunter Peter Fallon to a new kind of adventure that joined the contemporary mystery-thriller to the historical novel. In his twelve novels (including six bestselling Peter Fallon adventures), Martin has tracked national treasures across the landscape of the American imagination, chronicled the lives of the great and the anonymous in American history, and brought to life legendary American locations, from Cape Cod to Washington DC in "The Lincoln Letter." And after the publication of his Gold Rush epic, "Bound for Gold," the Providence Journal called him "the king of the historical thriller." "December '41," published in the summer of '22, provides readers with another propulsive journey through American history.   He has also written an award-winning PBS documentary on the life of Washington, a cult-classic horror movie, has contributed book reviews to the Boston Globe and The New England Quarterly, and has taught writing across the country, from the Harvard Extension School to the legendary Maui Writers Conference. He lives near Boston with his wife and has three grown children. He received the 2005 New England Book Award, "an author whose work stands as a significant contribution to the region's culture." He has also won the Samuel Eliot Morison Award and the Robert B. Parker Award.   Tune in!   During this episode, you will learn about; [00:00] Episode intro and our today's walk at Boston with Author William Martin [03:15] How his love for historical research and findings came into being [04:43] Aspiring to become a movie director and how the ambition hit the wall [07:53] Writing his book; December '41 [09:37] What it took to crack the success code with his book; Back Bay [12:02] How he develops the sinister and nasty characters for different scenes of writing [15:27] What influenced the sense of humor in his books [16:46] Time and resources needed from start to finish and publish a book [25:10] The future of William's writing [26:40] Ending the show and call to action     Notable Quotes The easiest way to get into the movie business was to write a good screenplay. The arrogance to accept corrections and setbacks is what keeps young people stagnating. If you are not a writer, you should be a great reader. To be a good writer, you should also be a great reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.

In this episode, I chat with Capt. Peter Fallon of Gillies & Fallon Guide Service about tossing flies to stripers on the flats in the Kennebec, running down blitzing albies in Buzzards Bay, and just about everything in between. We may even chat about catching stripers in the Three Bays. This one is loaded with […]

Capt. Peter Fallon guides light tackle and fly anglers for stripers all summer in Maine, and albies on Cape Cod in the fall. But he doesn't just guide for them, he obsesses about them. He studies them. He dreams about them. He also works tirelessly for the health of fisheries up and down the coast, and practices what he preaches. Listen in as he tells us his secrets for successfully targeting both species, and on how a lifetime of study has given him the tools to succeed at both. www.mainestripers.net

Capt. Peter Fallon Tells Us His Secrets for Setting Up Spin And Fly Rods for Albies! Capt. Fallon is a bit of a mad scientist when it comes to fishing. He studies fish habits like a researcher and writes everything down. He looks for patterns. He obsesses. He lies awake at night staring at the ceiling, and when he falls asleep, he dreams of fish. We're not sure, but we suspect he has one of those walls with strings running from picture to picture, connecting the dots in the way only the slightly touched can do. So when he offers you advice, you listen intently, and you take it to heart, and you use it. In this Short Strike, he gets down with the details of setting up your spinning rod or fly stick precisely to give you the best shot at bringing that little missile to hand.

The panel concludes its two-week survey of Irish poets, ending with Peter Fallon's 'The Old Masters', Patrick Kavanagh's 'Address to an Old Wooden Gate', and Seamus Heaney's 'Fosterling'.
