The author has taken a few minutes out of his busy schedule for a Q&A about his new novel.
When did you become interested in storytelling?
As a young boy I was taken care of by my paternal grandmother and she would tell me about her past. She never just remembered. She would turn whatever it was she was telling me about into a story. Not having much of a past of my own, I began to make up stories to tell her and she would ask questions to help me fill in the blanks. That’s when I discovered how fun and fulfilling it was to be a storyteller.
What was your first book/story published?
Because I started out as a playwright, my first story published was actually a play called, And Jill Came Tumbling After.
What inspired you to write The Reminisce?
Talking to a doctor once at a party. She specialized in Alzheimer’s and we had a very interesting chat about accessing memories. I became fascinated with the (simplistic, because there’s so much more to it) idea that the disease moves backwards, taking away the most current memories until there’s nothing left to recall.
What character in The Reminisce is the most/least like you, and in what ways?
That would have to be Araceli, the girlfriend of the main character’s sister. She curious and is always willing to explore the unusual, even if she doesn’t quite understand or believe in it.
