One evening a few years ago I stayed up to watch a certain movie* and when it was over, the next day, I knew how I would write the book. *More in this article:

Hope this explains the gap. Thanks for writing! Cheers, Mike

I picked up your book at the library and read the flyleaf information to my husband. He thinks he might know you. He lived in Elmhurst until 1972 on Benham Street. Went to St. Bart's for Elementary School. His name is Anthony (Tony) Codan. Any chance you know him?
