Richard asked Kevin Ansbro:

Yesterday I got a copy of your latest novel, The Fish that Climbed a Tree. I was showing it to some friends, and one of them said that he thought the title seemed familiar, as if he'd seen it, or a very similar one before. Strangely enough, I've had the same feeling, although I'm sure you took pains to avoid plagiarism. Could you say something about what inspired this title? Thank you.

Kevin Ansbro Thanks, Richard!
The title is my own and was inspired by a famous quote wrongly attributed to Albert Einstein.

It was meant by the great man as a reminder that we shouldn't judge people by what they're physically unable to do. I've used it as a metaphor for a seemingly impossible struggle that takes place in my novel. ; )

Kevin, Not a question, only a comment. After reading your comments on Laysee's review, I ordered your book. Interesting how that happens. I haven't read it yet, but I am looking forward to reading it. So I guess I need a question. How many books do you plan to write in the future?

A Goodreads user asked Kevin Ansbro:

Hi Kevin, sending best wishes as you embark on writing your third novel. Hope it proves to be a tremendously rewarding experience! Flannery O'Connor said, “Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay." My question is - Is there any way a writer can limit their teeth and hair loss? :-)
