Amanda Fellows asked W. Chris Winter:

Not so much a question as a comment...then my question... I'm on Ch 5, and excited for the rest of the book. My sleep quality has tanked over the last year. So much so, that I 'even' gave up alcohol for 30 days a couple months ago. Helped, but not a magic bullet. (Whew!) Also, thank you for not sucking as a narrator :) Many authors can't get away with that! Did you enjoy the process of narrating your book?

W. Chris Winter I did enjoy the process of writing the book. I travel a lot for work, so I fell into a rhythm of writing a things I wanted my patients to know or think about once they left my office. The document grew and grew over the years. Fortunately an agent (not knowing I had written so much) thought I should write a book based upon some other media writing I had done.

If by narrate, you mean that you are listening to the audio book (which is me reading the text), I have to say I don't like listening to my voice, particularly "ch-" and "sh-" sounds. I enjoyed the process, but think if I could have gotten James Earl Jones to read it, I should have gone in that direction. The book is personal to me...I put a lot of myself into it, so I felt like I should read it.

I'm glad you like the book, and I appreciate you taking the time to say hello and give me some feedback. I hope the second half of the book lives up to the first 5 chapters.

Congrats to you for giving up the alcohol. That's not an easy thing to do for some, but it can help many with their sleep.

Again, thanks for not sucking as a book reviewer. If you ever find yourself on Amazon, I would sincerely appreciate a review. They mean a lot to me!

Have a great holiday AF!

Sincerely,

Chris
