GG asked M.J. Raco:

Your attention to your 5 characters deep thoughts & reactions, belies the experience of a debutant novelist. How do you read people so closely?

M.J. Raco Hi GG, I would simply say my life experiences have allowed this. I’ve worked in the health/medical industry for over 30 years, and diagnosing a patient’s condition at times comes from listening to what they say, or more importantly what they don’t or can’t say properly. You get to read a person really well after the years of experience I’ve had.
