How long? What?

One of the most common questions people ask me when they get my book, Yell at God and Live! is, "How long did it take you to write it?"

My answer is, "Over 40 years."

One man who initially laughed at this reply, opened to a random page and after reading for a few seconds, soberly stated, "I can see you didn't write this overnight."

Another common question is "What made you want to write this kind of book?"

Please allow me to borrow from Toni Morrison, "If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
