As someone who's sold more than 300 million books, author John Grisham has unique insight into the world of writing and publishing. With his 30th book, Camino Island, he reflects on his successful career with q guest host Laurie Brown.

Known for his books A Time to Kill, The Pelican Brief and The Firm, all of which have been made into films, Grisham talks about his beginnings as an author when he was a small-time lawyer. He also discusses how Camino Island differs from the rest of the books he has published and why he is going on his first book tour in 25 years.
