Goodreads asked Jamie Brickhouse:

What are you currently working on?

Jamie Brickhouse I'm writing about my relationship with my father, Daddy Earl, who died recently. He's in the shadow of Mama Jean in Dangerous When Wet. In my next book, it's his turn. After she died I told him that her death would leave more room for our relationship to deepen, and in the five years we had together after she was gone that came true. Even though I'm a mix of both my parents, I'm most like my father. In fact, I am the extreme -- or full blown -- version of him in many respects, for better and worse. In recent years, and especially since he died, I've heard folks in Beaumont, TX -- where I grew up and he lived his whole life -- say, "You favor your daddy." Maybe that's the name of the book: "I Favor My Daddy."
