Alan Brigida asked Josh Lanyon:

I just finished Come Unto These Yellow Sands. I loved the book. Your portrayal of a recovering addict really moved me. I have loved all your books, so I guess I am a hardcore fan. I don't want to get too personal, but do you have experience with addiction?

Josh Lanyon Hi Alan. Thank you for the kind words. Your question is thought-provoking. I have what I consider to be an addictive personality, and so I understand --and sympathize with -- the mechanics of addiction. Because alcoholism runs rampant on both sides of my family, I've always been (or at least once I was out of my twenties) watchful when it comes to my own behaviors particularly in regard to alcohol and prescription, which is probably a very good thing.
