As a fiction writer myself, an enormous amount of what I write, whether it’s conscious or not, is drawn from experience in my life. If I ever have any doubts that I imagined it or think I may have heard it somewhere, I can’t write about it.Īnd that’s got to be incredibly difficult for someone in your position. So whenever I sit down to write, I’m forced to detach myself from what I heard during the day and make sure whatever I write is completely fictional. But the nature of being a psychiatrist is that you can’t tell them to a stranger, and you can’t write about them. I think the most striking thing that I do is that most of my day is spent as a psychiatrist, and the great thing and the frustrating thing about being a psychiatrist is that people tell you the most amazing stories in the world, stories that if you actually told them to a stranger, they would find breathtaking. But no, I try to lead a busy life, and hopefully I’m succeeding now that I’m halfway to the end of it, the way things work. My grandmother actually believes most of that, and I’m still charged two-fifty to get on the subway.

Before we get into the book, let’s talk a little bit about your accomplishments. Perfect! That’s a great answer–I’m glad you found us interesting, and I’m glad you found your way to us.
They periodically email me things that might be of interest, and the ones that look interesting I just reach out or respond to. The truth is, a lot of people email me all sorts of things all day long now that I have five different publishers-actually, six now-for six different books.
