Goodreads asked Buck Dopp:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Buck Dopp Second Wind is a result of watching my friends and family adjust from war. I would like to honor them by telling their story.

Howard P. Grimes started out as a satirical short story about a clueless new retiree called "For Better or Worse...But Not for Lunch." I got such a response from readers--unlike anything before or since--I thought I'd try to extend the idea to a book-length narrative.
