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!
Yay, great vlog!!
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.
