How spirituality plays a part in Steven's writing life and books, including his prayer to the Muse.The battle must be fought anew every day.” How we can fight resistance as authors. “On the field of the self stand a knight and a dragon. I have a quote by Steven from The War of Art on the pinboard by my desk.

“The Lion's Gate' as the book Steven has been avoiding writing, and how resistance manifested during its creation.

Why Steven chose to tell the history in the first person POV, and his interview research technique, plus using the techniques of fiction in writing narrative non-fiction.

Our mutual love for the country of Israel, and the places that particularly resonated with Steven.The concept of ‘en brera.‘ Why the Israelis had ‘no alternative' at that time and perhaps, still don't?.A brief overview of the Six Day War and the events that feature in ‘The Lion's Gate' as well as why Steven wanted to tell this story, after many years of writing books around classical wars.You can also listen to the audio above or on the podcast feed on iTunes or Stitcher, or read the transcription below. I've split the interview into two on video: you can watch our discussion about The Lions' Gate here, and another on tips for writers here. His latest book is ‘ The Lion's Gate,' a hybrid history of the Six Day War. Steven Pressfield is the author of screenplays including The Legend of Bagger Vance, novels around the classical wars of ancient Greece and modern warfare like Gates of Fire, and non-fiction works including The War of Art and Turning Pro, which I know are on the desks of many writers listening.
