1) How long have you been writing and when did you first start? I have been writing/blogging since 2004 for my family and friends. It was suggested that I publish my blog after my brain tumor diagnosis to bring awareness to the plight of young adult brain tumor patients.
2) Where do you get your ideas? Most of my ideas come from my curious nature. Since my brain surgery, I have adapted a "why not" attitude. That has really fueled my ideas. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how I got a book published.
3) What is your favorite genre? I was not an avid reader before my brain tumor diagnosis, but now I gravitate towards non-fiction
4) What is the name of your latest book and where can readers find it? My book is called "Reversal: When a Therapist Becomes A Patient". It chronicles my experiences as physical therapist turned brain tumor patient from diagnosis to treatment. In a strange twist... the people I used to work with, were treating me as their patient. I have a very unique view on healthcare, rehabilitation, cancer as a healthcare professional turned patient. The new edition of "Reversal" is available on http://www.mAssKickers.com
5) If you had to give one great book recommendation, what would it be? I'm a very big fan of Malcolm Gladwell. I recommend the Tipping Point or Blink. I am eagerly waiting to read his new book, Outliers.
