Jeremy Robinson is the author of several bestselling thrillers. His Jack Sigler / Chess Team novels from Thomas Dunne Books (an imprint of St. Martin’s Press) have earned him legions of voracious fans.

Still, for those looking for some good information on writing, the world of getting an agent or publisher, and self-publishing, these are the places to go. My totally subjective list of the 10 books every author (published, self-published, or pre-published) should own:
