Goodreads asked Thee Ace Man:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Thee Ace Man Only one 'older / recent' book as planned. The idea came as an idea to write about life in general and a search for problem solving. Problem solving is a main ingredient in math. Life problem solving -> the new math. I pretty much documented my life (Chapter One - Prelogue) as examples to draw from. Partly during and definitely after Chapter One, the reader actually becomes the main character of the book and I feel this is where the book draws its interest. How many autobiographies have the reader as a main character? I feel someone just going on and on about themselves gets a bit boring to me. There are things that are nice to know, but as a reader, what about me? It was nice having the idea for an autobiography where the reader is a main character too. Something different. And the book builds from beginning to end as each part leads into the next. As life has its twists and turns, so too does "The New Math". Very complicated underneath, but reads very easily. Despite the complicated nature of the interwoven ideas, the book starts simple and stays (for the most part) simple. And no, this isn't about 'the new math' of the 50's and 60's and was written before Common Core. It's about a new concept known as 'relationship math' and how things may be adding up or subtracting out in your life and the probable reasons why.
