Clive Cussler, who died last month, was a publishing legend. Over the course of his long career Clive Cussler sold over 100 million books. Not bad, for a guy who had to resort to trickery to obtain his first publishing contract.

In 2015 his publicist suggested that I might want to interview him. So I did. He was affable, and pleasant, and very down to earth.
