INTERVIEW:

Question1- Do you have a daily writing routine? In the evening, in the dark, with very little noise.

Question2- Where do you do most of your writing? Everywhere I can, but mainly at my desk at home.

Question3- Where did you grow up? Can you tell us a little about it? A little. A small mining town in the northern U. S. I couldn't wait to get away from it, but the boredom of the place made me a voracious reader. I finally appreciate some aspects of the place now (for short periods).

Question4- What is your motto in life/writing? I've never really thought about having a motto. Maybe "This could be the last time...."

Question5- What inspired you to writing your book? I refer quite a few patient samples for genetic testing and am fascinated by the huge breakthroughs that have been made in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. I wanted to write something that might teach people a little about what's going using a fictional format that, although somewhat kinky, might be more interesting reading. The gene mutation that I incorporate into the story is real, and the research to find a compound with the ability to reverse the effects of this mutation is ongoing and important. It is somewhat difficult, however, to put into a format that a non-medical person can understand.
