A story about a Novelist who writes a Spy novel series so good it attacts actual spies to him

Sorry, I cannot edit my title, had a typo attacts was meant to be attracts.

So the novel is about a young man (I think 18-24) who writes a spy novel series so good that gets him in contact with actual spies, who believed him to be an actual old timer spy who retired to write about his exploits. They are shocked its actually from a young man. Then give him a baseball cap with micro camera to film with, he uses it at a hotels pool side and then inside his hotel room. That is where I left off the story.

He wrote a book that he turned into a 3 book series and then inspiration hits and turns it into a 9 (or something) book series. In my mind while reading it I image he made something like Jason Bourne or Tom Clancy novel series (I have never read those before but it was implied).

He keeps his popularity a secret so no one know who he actual is unless he tells them.

It is the usually story, young man gets rich and picks up tons of woman.

This is it! Thank you, I never would have found it if not for you. Could you tell me how you found it? I don't have a clue about how to go about finding novels like this on the site where you only remember a little bit about the novel.

I just reread the book, so I would have answered but jps71 beat me to it.

To find it cold? I would use Advanced Search->Story Text Search. BUT that requires a paid/Premier account. It took me two searches first was "novel spy author" 66 results no match next was "spy author agent" 80 results match on the third page. I have, relatively recently, been told that the search is broken down into chapters. So the words all have to be in one chapter (assuming you check off "All Words") If you remember that there was a still at the farm, and a bottle of alcohol was given out in Moscow, but he did not want to offend the Muslims in Riyadh so he did not bring a bottle there: looking up "Still mash Riyadh moscow" would give . . . an answer? The wrong answer, but an answer. I was looking for lucky jim 2. Now I am not familiar with Boolean search on the site so there may be a way to find my example using my key words or variants, I do not know it.

I hope my rambling helped.

Good Hunting, limab

Could you tell me how you found it?

For me, albeit after it was located, the process was:

I've read that one
There was an interrogation drug in it
The drug was called DART
There was a scene in the Disneyland car park
:
Do a Quicksearch from the front page on 'dart disneyland'
Skim down the 14 results and spot the given story, which was also the only story where the link showed that I'd visited it

The trick is to come up with two or three context words which are likely to be found together in a chapter of the target story, and very few others. In this case, 'dart' worked but 'eyedrops' (what the dart was disguised as) didn't as the eyedrops weren't mentioned in the same chapter as disneyland, whereas he drug name was.

ETA:
Quicksearch does a search story text though only on a chapter-by-chapter basis, and is available to basic members where most advanced search functions are not.

@Zalpha

Don't think I ever read a story about a woman who weighs tons.

You have not met my sister. Badum-tish

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. Either the 58 or 93 version she would HAVE to be well over a ton(my guestimates with a calculator multiple tons) Of course with the square-cubed law she would no be able to stand. But, FICTION!

edit: closer to 34 tons
