John Grisham Marks 20th Anniversary

The  legend that John Grisham self-published his first book persists, but it’s not true. He was not an overnight success, though.  It took him  three years to write A Time to Kill and two years to get it published.  Then he drove all over the state to meet people and sell copies during the time he wrote his second book–the one that really took off.  [USA Today]
