Q.  What motivated you to write this novel?

A.  I am motivated by other authors such as James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell.

Q. How did you come up with the story?

A. A lot of what I see on the news sickens me.  It develops into a story in my mind which is difficult for me to tell other than writing it out.  I guess some of the things in the book may seem unthinkable; however, it is not detached from everyday reality, unfortunately. Human animal ranges from sublime to the ridiculous along the psychological continuum.

Q. Some authors have said that they write about the nightmares they have, is this the case with you?

A. Not at all.  For me to write my nightmares would be next to impossible.  I would have to get up constantly throughout the night and take notes.  But maybe that's something to consider in the future.

Q.  Who was the first person to read your manuscript?

A.  It was my wife.  I value her opinion. 

Q.  Are you writing another novel?

A.  I have a few ideas that I'm toying with.  I haven't put anything to paper yet.  They haven't developed enough...yet.
