Goodreads asked Treg Julander:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Treg Julander Writing a novel is the most challenging project I’ve ever undertaken. The difficulty of keeping the plot moving, without revealing too much, while maintaining the pace of character development, far exceeded the most complex legal brief I’ve ever written. Unlike a legal brief, however, writing a novel gave me the ultimate freedom to build a world and play in it. I enjoyed creating characters, exposing them to fabricated situations, and dreaming up how they would react and change. Contrary to popular belief, attorneys never get to take such liberties with the facts in a real case. I also took great pleasure in building a puzzle, leaving clues, and crafting complex twists and turns. My greatest reward is to hear readers tell me that they were still guessing until the last scene or that they figured it out in the first few chapters.
