Congratulations on your upcoming book release! What was your inspiration to become a writer?
A.J. McCarthy
Hello David,
I wish I could give an awe-inspiring answer, but in all honesty, I never thought of myself as a writer until I finished reading a particularly bad book. (In those days, I forced myself to continue even though I didn't like it. Now, I realize life is too short for that. ) I said to myself, 'I could do better than that.' Then I thought, 'Hmmm. I wonder if I could.' I grabbed my laptop and started to write, and I haven't stopped writing since that time because I love it so much.
