When you were working those 80 hours as a cardiologist, did you ever envision writing, or were you always a storyteller? <br /><br />Second, I love what you say -- you can't write in a weekend or a month, it takes time, so would you ever do Nanowrimo?<br /><br />Thirdly and not a question, your book sounds riveting, love the character name, Dub, and I can't wait to read Stress Fracture.

Were you hungry when you wrote them, Doug? :) I also noticed that your writing process is very, very similar to mine.

That is a perfect description!<br /><br />I am hooked by the plot description and the writer's style in responding to your questions.
