Sam Harris
My newest book is set in 1960s rural Oklahoma. I grew up in Oklahoma (though a bit younger than the protagonist), so I have that world deep in my memory to count upon. the actual subject of the book came from a very personal experience when I was young that turned my world around. I've promised myself I won't share the autobiographical part of this inspiration as it is so personal. But let's say the book is based on personal experience.

One more comment and I will leave you alone. Haha I feel like your writing in Ham, Slices of a Life was written with more reservation, (like you were holding something back) than The Substance of All Things. The latter feels like you put everything you had into it. I obviously enjoy your books, but wondered if this was true?
