James Lee Burke just published his latest Holland family novel. At age 88, he isn't slowing down at all. In fact, he has picked up the pace over the last couple of years. During this interview, he mentioned he has already finished writing his latest book in the Dave Robicheaux series, and it weighs in at 555 pages. That has to be the longest one yet. How does he do it? He told me he tries to write every day, at least 750 words. Now that is a work ethic.
