The duo have numerous bestselling titles between them, namely A Million Little Pieces and I Am Number Four (Frey), and the Full Fathom Five series (Johnson-Shelton).<\/p>\n<p>I recently had the opportunity to interview Frey in conjunction with the launch of his book. \u201cYeah, there are writers who tend to procrastinate. I do it sometimes. But to get going again, I just keep reminding myself that writing is also a job, and I have to work like everyone else,\u201d he tells me.<\/p>\n<p>He works on the premise that a few pages a day is all he needs to be happy with, and it is a pretty effective method, seeing as how he\u2019s just put another book on the shelves.<\/p>\n<p>For someone whose works have been adapted to visual media, Frey confides that he doesn\u2019t always write with the intention of having his books translated for the silver screen. \u201cThe book is always the most important thing. I\u2019ll never know if something will get made, so you have to assume the book will live only as a book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Endgame: The Calling takes readers on a journey through myriad cultures and places. Suffice to say, it would have entailed a huge amount of research to get things right. Frey credits the web as his source of research, saying that writing this book would not have been possible without the use of the Internet. As someone who combines more modern forms of media and marketing with traditional print, Frey definitely knows how to utilise the Internet to its maximum potential.<\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/node\/48339\" target=\"_blank\">click to continue reading at New Straits Times<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from The New Straits Times End game in mind By Stuart Danker The latest book from James Frey and Nils Johnson-Shelton will keep readers busy deciphering the codes within, writes Stuart Danker ENDGAME: The Calling is the latest novel by authors James Frey and Nils Johnson-Shelton.
