One question I keep hearing: did everything in your novel really happen?
It’s my first video blog!

Love it!!! Thanks for the clarification on what is fiction and what happened. I didn’t know your mother was really shot at, it’s details like that which are so visual they make the book memorable!

Nice to finally hear you. Somehow not what I thought you’d sound like. Not that that’s bad. : )

It’s funny how some people assume our characters are just like us, and everything in the book is just thinly-veiled reality.
Great vlog! I need to work up enough nerve to do one.
