Welcome!
The myth in the news business is that every reporter has a novel down there in his/her bottom desk drawer.
Yes, a lot of us news people—and I was one of them for a decade—do want to write the great American novel. And we know we can do it because we’ve got the smarts—hey, we’re a confident lot—but getting the time to write for ourselves while working a beat for a newspaper, a radio station, or a television station, ahh, that’s the challenge.
Meet David Heinzmann, an investigative reporter with the Chicago Tribune. He’s one of the few who has managed to carve out the time away from the job to write his novel.
Better, he got it published.
