louise inglis asked Robert Dugoni:

I am fascinated by the whole writing process, when you have the initial idea for a book do you see that it will be a series. Or does it start as a stand alone novel? Is there a difference in beginning a single book and one that you envisage as part of a series?

Robert Dugoni I always start as a stand alone. I don't ever want the reader to feel like she didn't get a full experience from a novel. If the novel is successful, I then think about a series, but it's usually a continuation of the characters, not the primary story.
Thanks for asking

I really enjoyed reading The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell. I haven't read any of your other titles but Sam Hell seems very different from the descriptions of your other works. It reads non-fiction. Can you give me some details of how the story transpired - was it based on personal experience or someone you knew? When is the movie scheduled to be released? I hope they capture the heart of the story!

That would be awesome! I love the Tracy Crosswhite series I’m always the first one to order the book digitally when it released. I was luckily to be able to read one of your books before it was release because of Netgalley?
