[E3 2006] Tom Clancy To Write Novel
5.11.06 - After many years in the video game industry, Tom Clancy has decided to try his hand at writing a book.
"My games have been so well received and I'm particularly interested to see how well that success can carry over into the literary world," said Clancy.
While he hasn't decided on what type of book he wants to write Clancy has said that he likes the idea of the romance novel a lot and has been leaning towards writing one.
"I just love the hear and soul of those books - and I don't mean the trashy ones. I'm more into the boy-meets-girl stories."
It's hard to tell whether or not he'll have any luck in the literary scene because the video game world is so fickle when it comes to romance novels. According to John Macintyre, a video game analyst, video game players typically like girl-meets-boy stories and he's not so sure they will be willing to compromise and follow this new direction.
"I mean, boy-meets-girl? Is he crazy?"
Tom Clancy has been working in the video games industry for years now and he's known for his espionage and military themed games as well as his really cool sunglasses.
