A fantastic interview with Walter Hunt, novelist and Grand Librarian of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. Walter tells us about the Masonic influences and themes in his novels and about the tremendous archives at the Samuel Crocker Lawrence Library of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, home to many rare and one-of-a-kind masonic manuscripts, books, records and archives and other old and rare works dating back to the 1600 and 1700s up to the present day. Brother Hunt also serves as president of the Colonial Craftsmen, a degree team which preforms authentic 18th century degrees the way our brethren among the founding fathers experienced them.
Walter has written 11 science fiction and alternative history novels, intertwining a wide variety of masonic symbols, characters and themes into fast - paced and highly entertaining tales. His most recent works include: 1636: The Atlantic Encounter, and City by the Bay: Stories of Novaya Rossiya. Other works by Walter include: A Song in Stone, which masons will find particularly intriguing, Elements of mind, and The Dark Wing series. Links to his books can be found here:
