< Return to Events & Interviews A clip from the below interview about why I write from experience. David Baldacci, Daniel Stashower and I were invited by the producers of Sirius XM’s Book Channel to do the first “Author Cafe,” several hours of authors interviewing each other about their own work. It subsequently became the most popular and often listened to program of the Book Channel. Here

Prague: The Holographic Paradigm In June of 1992, Karl Pribram and I were on a 16-hour train trip from Karl Jung’s remote center, Eranos, on Lago Maggiore in Switzerland, where I’d been doing research for my book The Magic Circle (in which Jungian archetypes play a great role.) We were headed to Prague, where Karl was to speak at a huge Transpersonal Psychology conference. The conference had

A big chunk of the research for The Magic Circle is related to what today is modern Turkey, a land where, in ancient times, so many major literary and historical events took place. Turkey was the home of King Gordius, whose Gordian knot was later cut by Alexander, opening the western route into Asia, and also home to Gordius’s adopted son King Midas. Even earlier, Turkey was the birthplace o

The very first morning when we stopped at Troy, archaeologists were boarding up parts to begin further digging just outside the famous ruins. We learned a few days later from a newspaper headline that they’d just discovered unknown outer walls, revealing that Troy was seven times larger than originally believed. So despite what historians had long insisted to the contrary, Homer’s desc

I first got the idea of writing The Magic Circle while living in Idaho, where I’d moved in 1978 from Colorado to work with people from many different countries and cultures, all involved in energy research and nuclear safety. I was living in a tiny, furnished flat on the second floor of an old-fashioned building in Idaho, overlooking the Snake River. It was just after a spring of heavy snowm

My Secret Spain by Katherine Neville   My first exposure to Spain took place in the early 1970’s, when I was living in North Africa as a consultant to the Algerian government. This period would later provide fodder for my first book, The Eight, an epic story based on a

Just after editing The Magic Circle, I made a quick trip to Moscow where 850th birthday celebrations were still underway. The city was festooned with posters of St George, their patron saint. I felt this was an omen, because though St George does not appear as a character in The Magic Circle, his presence is there through his channeling of earth’s energies by pinning the dragon forces of nat

Today, when we use the word “myth,” we often mean something that isn’t true, something that has been fabricated to deceive others. But the myths that have come down to us from ancient times have deep roots and hold a magical significance that still flourishes in our own lives today. The word “mythos” in Greek means story or speech. Myths exist in every culture in the
