Connie was in private practice in psychiatry for many years before becoming a forensic psychiatrist, working with the criminally insane. The work was fascinating, but also stressful, so she decided it was time for a change. She'd heard amazing stories from her patients--truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction--so she decided to try to put those stories, and her feelings about them, into words (while carefully protecting identities). When she realized that writing wasn't as easy as she thought, she enrolled in the Stonecoast program at the University of Southern Maine, where she received a MFA in creative writing. In addition to this novel, she has written short stories: one of which was given an award by the Atlanta Writers Club, and anothe ...more

Hi, Carol,

Thanks for your great question. I do not have any paranormal or psychic abilities. I wish I did--I'm fascinated by the paranormal! There's so much we don't know about the brain, the mind/soul/spirit, and about the universe, that having psychic skills could help shed light on what it's all about.

My prior work in psychiatry gave me tons of ideas for writing. I spoke with some people who believed they'd had paranormal experiences. They were either mentally ill, or something paranormal had actually happened to them, and sometimes it was hard to tell whether it was "real" or not. These cases--in particular, the case of a woman who'd had a near-death experience-- were what impelled me to write this particular novel. Also, after seeing an episode on "Nova" about the actual scientific possibility of "multiverses"or parallel worlds, I thought that concept would be an interesting, science-based way to begin to understand what appears to be the paranormal.

I hope to write further books about psychiatry and the paranormal.(less)
