Scott asked Ben Starling:

Hey Ben. Just wanted to give a shout out to a fellow boxer and writer. Although I've only been boxing for 2 years and I started at 49, I have to say, the sport builds and reveals character, testing mental and physical fortitude. Wouldn't you agree? I'm looking forward to reading Something in the Air. Happy holidays.

Ben Starling Hi Scott, Glad to meet a fellow boxer writer. Yes, boxing has always been fascinating for me too. Many tend to think of it as a bit of a brutal sport, but I enjoy it for the technique and the strategy of the game. If you can include strategy in your plan – defensive parries, counters to your opponent’s every move, footwork that is active rather than reactive… it opens up a lot of possibilities. I hope you enjoy Something in the Air. And on January 21, 2016, Something in the Water will be released...and one of the key characters is a boxer!
