I actually was on a TV show in England and I was talking about this. How do you feel about assisted suicide?I have very strong beliefs in favour of that. But aside from that, although I've not lived through the situation myself, talking with my parents about do not resuscitate orders and living wills meant I got to a point in my life where this situation, this problem, was becoming a more compelling to me. He really helped me either do the medical research I needed from a neurology standpoint. Anyway I called him and he said "oh of course I remember you! I follow your career, you've done very well for yourself!". This was when nobody knew I was writing anything. He was talking about these traumatic brain injury cases and the life decisions that have to be made around them, and I talked to him for about half an hour and I said: "I'm going to write a book about this one day". Did this come out of a personal experience? It actually came from a time about a decade ago when I was on a plane next to a man who was a neurosurgeon. "Lone Wolf" addresses that dreadful dilemma of families keeping loved ones alive artificially.
