Goodreads asked Peter Lance:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Peter Lance It's an opportunity, whether your write fiction or non-fiction to offer an interpretation of life as you have come to know it. I'm a reporter by trade, so in the case of my latest non-fiction book, HOMICIDE AT ROUGH POINT, it was a chance for me to go back to my hometown after more than 50 years and crack a murder case. Beyond that initial true crime story which I first reported in Vanity Fair in the summer of 2020, the book turned into a memoir of growing up in Newport, RI, one of the most remarkable small cities on earth. So for me, it became a journey of self discovery.
