2) What inspired this tale?
Ø How did the story come to you?
Like a great many things, it just popped into my head. One day, I was sitting at the table having breakfast and I said to myself: “What actually happens during an alien abduction? What about afterwards?”

3) Do you relate to your character?
Ø Is your protagonist anything like you personally?
I’d like to think so. I try to put a little of myself into every character.

Ø If yes, then how?
I was quiet and a little shy as a teenager. I was more into the video games and nerdy movies rather than sports and hanging out with girls.

Ø What made you write this character; what made them important to you or made you want to tell their story?
I always wanted to write a series. This was a project I never thought I would start or even complete. To me, this is a great sense of accomplishment.

4) Is there anything you specific want readers to know about this piece of work?
Definitely. Although this story is categorized as Science Fiction, I wrote it as Science Fantasy. There is some magic, some time travel, and some general hijinks. Not everything is scientifically accurate (I did twist some things to make a more interesting story line). I would like the reader to focus on Nathan’s transformation. It’s a story of turmoil, broken innocence, and hastened growth.
