Q. What does the title of your book mean? And is that you on the cover?
A. "Rise Above" means accepting and becoming a better person. "The Truth" is a newly discovered and a emotionally difficult fact.
No, not me in the picture. However, the idea for the cover is my idea. The cover department did the artistic work on what I told them I wanted. I could not be happier with the cover.
Q. What is the message you are hoping the story will get across to your readers?
A. The story or message is that the choices we make in life will always have an effect on someone else's life, whether we intend it to or not. Sometimes for the good of the people around us and often times it will only make their life a struggle. Hopefully they can understand and accept the choices that were made without their input.
Q. How did I come up with the idea for the story?
A. I had an storyline in my head, but honestly when I started to write the manuscript the story took on a life of its own. I found myself often wondering, "What are the characters going to do next?" I never knew where that days writing was going to take me. It was so much fun to write, as I hope it is to read.
Q. Is there really a Wave Organ?
A. Yes, it is part of the Exploraitorium in San Francisco. Visit this site to see it.
