What are your top 5 movies of all time?
When I stumble across these movies while channel surfing (thank you TBS), I’ll stop and re-watch: The Godfather, Enemy at the Gates, Master and Commander, The Princess Bride, The Empire Strikes Back, It’s a Wonderful Life.
Where would you want to travel if you had to stay there for a year?
Honolulu. Love it there. Lived there for a year during medical training and it was the best year of my life.
What’s the strangest thing anyone’s ever asked you?
“Are you a professional boxer?”
You’d have to know me to understand how ridiculous this question was, and still is.
What inspired you to become a writer?
Wanting to shine a light on awesome aspects of WWII that not enough people know about. Plus, I just wanted to see if I could meet the challenge of finishing a book.
What’s your writing routine?
Write a little, then reward myself with twice as much time binge-watching TV shows. Recent discovery – “The Walking Dead”- it’s really good!
Which song do you ALWAYS blast in the car?
High school: “Danger Zone,” Kenny Loggins, think “Top Gun”
Med School: “Beautiful Day,” U2
When kids were little: I forbade blasting music, but could not avoid learning every Taylor Swift song by osmosis
These days: My favorite music is the Bach Cello Suites. Seriously. They are awesome.
