Tony Lovell asked Ethel Rohan:

What was your inspiration behind The Weight of Him, specifically regarding Billy and his weight? Billy is the first character in all the books I've ever read whom I've truly found relatable, and his weight and his desire to lose half himself were the reasons for this.

Ethel Rohan Hi Tony,

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my first novel The Weight of Him and for this kind feedback. It means a lot to know how deeply this novel is resonating with readers.

There are a number of interviews online where I talk about the spark that set this book in motion. This is a link to one of my more recent interviews. I hope you find it answers your question. http://shaunaswriting.com/wordpress/p...

Happy reading and living.

Thanks again,

Ethel.
