SIDELIGHTS: Timothy L. Hall told CA: "Most of my writing has been of a scholarly nature and focused in the areas of church/state matters and legal ethics. I have never been happy, though, with the thought that only a handful of other scholars around the country would read my books and articles. Consequently, I have attempted in recent years to write reference works for a broader audience. The books published by Facts on File were written under contract. I found contract deadlines helpful because they forced me to write a set amount virtually every day for a period of some months."
