Dan Brown, 50, the American author spends his morning working on is book even while travels in a different continent. Brown's last book, Inferno (2013), a modern-day thriller on The Inferno, Dante's 14th Century poem, topped sales globally in 2013. In India Inferno has sold two lakh copies already. His first hit The Da Vinci Code (2003), was made into a fild and has gone on to become one of the best-selling novels of all time.
Dan Brown has a book out every three years. He reads and does research one year and takes another two years for writing- and he describes himself as a slow writer. This great writer works every day of the week. He has a special building on his property that he escapes to each morning when he writes. This 'writing space' has just a refrigerator and a desk, but no Internet or telephone. An antique hour-glass marks his breaks. He wakes up at 4am and writes till 11am or noon. The afternoon is reserved for taling to attorneys or publishers. He deconpresses by playing the piano. And after the book is done and he has a manuscript, Brown returns to the places in the book to scrutinize the details and to confirm that he has got them down accurately. He is a voracious reader of non-fiction - science, history, religion and philosophy - as he's always thinking of his next work.
He, in a recent meet in Delhi said, "I get an invitation a day and if I were to accept, it would mean that I wasn't writing. The best thing I can do for my ans is to write another book." He gives more importance on reading and writing in stead of delivering lectures. He is just 50, we expect more and more novels from the pen of this great Novelist. Long live Brown.
