what inspired ya to invent your own drug for Florida Palms? Ill totally accept "just cause" as a reason, understandable if it doesn't have a huge story behind it. Thank you for the wonderful book!

Joe Pan Thank you for reading! The reason I invented a new drug was because when I first began writing this book a long time ago, meth was the drug I focused on. Over time, the epidemic shifted to opioids, which landed one of my brothers in prison and hurt a great deal of people nationally. Ultimately I decided the specific drug wasn't as important as the experience. Plus, a novel drug would allow the Club to be the primary manufacturer and disseminator, giving them more power, as anyone who wanted it would have to go through them.

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Joe Pan I'm always happy to travel to any world dreamt up by Toni Morrison, Kurt Vonnegut, Cormac McCarthy, Mike Flanagan, Clarice Lispector, Stephen King, or Denis Johnson.
