I was born in 1956 to Carlton Ralph Daniel and Beverly Beatrice Gordon. Dad’s family were the only Jews in a small town in southeast Georgia. They owned two clothing shops before the Great Depression, then lost everything and rebuilt. Dad was the only of six siblings to attend college and became an internist. Mom’s family were descendants of a rabbi and other eastern European Jews who settled in Meridian and Jackson, Mississippi and became prosperous merchants. Mom was politically outspoken and served as President of the Mississippi chapter of Hadassah.

My novel is actually about my own family's life up until the cloning discussions then it becomes pure fiction. We lost our son in an accident in 2004. I was with him through the end.

I will likely write a novel speculating on what happens to a person's awareness/consciousness when they pass away.

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Maria and Robert Jordan in Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls: Although Maria and Robert didn't know each other long, their courtship moved quickly, as may be necessary in war. Their love for each other seemed to transcend life itself. After Jordan was wounded he stayed behind to ambush the fascist calvary allowing Maria and her companions to escape. Maria wanted to stay with Robert Jordan but he exhorted her to flee to safety and to enjoy the places in Madrid they had planned to see together.

Two runners up:

Heathcliff and Catherine in Wuthering Heights: Their conflictual romance, unrequited love and the reunion of their "ghosts" on the moors have "haunted" me since I read the book in college.

Winston and Jane in 1984. The Big Brother government manipulated Jane and Winston to betray each other. This was one of the most psychologically disturbing points in the novel.
