It just took a long time for me to find the shape and the story.
How much of the work is based on your experiences as an actor?
Any characters that readers will recognize?
What do you hope readers take away from the book?
I have found great comfort in the healing powers of performance.
I was hoping to share what I have experienced.
The cover is striking.
What does the match imagery signify to you, and why were you drawn to it?
To me, the image says something about the immense value of zero.
In a strange way, it directly relates to the title.
