Here is a video link of New York Times Bestseller Philip Margolin talking in 2007 about how his first book, Heartstone (HarperCollins, 1978) came about. It’s a great illustration of the value of having the right idea at the right time. Today he has 15 best sellers and has released a young adult novel together with his daughter.
