Quote by Wilbur Smith
The first novel I wrote was a monster - clocking in at 180,000 wor

The first novel I wrote was a monster – clocking in at 180,000 words – but it died a death, a death it deserved. It was called The Gods First Make Mad. It was a good title, but it was the only good thing about the book. I didnt let that put me off. – Wilbur Smith
