Kristin Orr asked Camille Pagán:

I started reading the book because I thought it was true, because I had read another author's account of a near-death experience and it did help me with accepting my grandfather's death. Did it start out as a true story?

Camille Pagán Hi Kristin. I had an experience several years ago (I wouldn't quite call it a near-death experience, but it was awfully close), and that was part of what inspired LIFE. But the book is entirely fiction. Thanks for reading, and taking the time to write.

Writing is something I have always enjoyed, regardless of the output - the structuring & shaping words to convey meaning. Did you find it was the same in your "previous lives" in industry?

Courtney asked Camille Pagán:

I just finished "Forever is the Worst Long Time" and as a Native Michigander, I wonder if you are from Michigan, or have spent time in the areas you write about?
