    Tom Young joins the Protectors podcast to discuss his ninth novel and third World War II standalone work, "The Mapmaker," which explores the dangerous operations of the French Resistance.

    • The novel follows Charlotte Deneau, a French-American woman who uses her artistic skills to create maps of German positions for the Resistance
    • Charlotte becomes hunted by the Gestapo for her exceptional mapping abilities
    • The second protagonist is Philippe Girard, a French pilot flying dangerous moonlight missions for the RAF's special operations squadron
    • Philippe must locate and extract Charlotte from occupied France while determining if intelligence is reliable or a Nazi trap
    • Tom draws inspiration from real-life resistance figures like Virginia Hall and Violette Sabo
    • Tom describes his writing process as "by the seat of his pants" rather than outlining extensively
    • Writing daily with a goal of 500-1000 words helps maintain progress on long-term writing projects
    • Tom's writing career began unexpectedly during an aircraft emergency layover in South Korea
    • Research for historical fiction includes nonfiction books and WWII training films on YouTube
    • Tom's next potential novel may explore the little-known story of Jewish teenagers who escaped Germany to Virginia before joining the US military
    • Advice for aspiring writers: attend conferences, network with the writing community, and remember it's normal for first drafts to need improvement
