Wolverton's latest novel in The Chronicles of the Black Tulip is The Sea of the Dead.
Recently I asked the author about what he was reading. His reply:
I am always reading, as I imagine most writers are. I would love to talk about one group of books I am reading right now, but itVisit Barry Wolverton's website.would give away what I hope is my next project! But I have also started reading Even Brook Trout Get the Blues, by legendary fly fisherman John Gierach. At my day job I work with a number of men and women who fish, which is a hobby I have never attempted. But I have started to realize I may be missing out on something as a writer. The quiet and the solitude of fishing, especially fly fishing (rivers are my favorite waters), is starting to appeal to me mightily. And it seems like a hobby I can take up even though I just turned 50.
