  • Age of Conflict (Author Interview)

     https://a.co/d/1gkwQHGCan you tell us a little about Age of Conflict?The title was derived from the fact that the book takes place in the years leading up to the Civil War.  The book itself is going to be part of a series, with this book being the first and then 2-3 more going through the timelines.  Pre-Civil War, Civil War, Post-Civil War.  Just as America was entering an age of conflict, so was the main character, Garit Hotzmire.  The pre-teen through teenage years are quite conflicting in establishing your identity.  Through a pending war, loss of loved ones around you, and love interests and it gets interesting, to say the least.What motivated you to write the book?My professional career spanned 25 years in the healthcare sector, and throughout that time, I cared for people with both physical and mental hardships.  The genesis for the book came from imagining how hard it would be for someone with physical or mental limitations to function in historical times.  The ability to function in today’s world is vastly more accommodating than in times past.  Literally, the difference in life or death is due to the physical demands of functioning each and every day.  Riding a horse, plowing a field, chopping firewood, harvesting your food, or simply surviving in an often lawless society.  Then, add an impending War and the likely hood of being forced to fight.  The main character in this book was born premature, so he would be described as small, sickly, and weak in physical stature.  But his mind was his strong point, and his Mother knew it had to be in order for him to survive and prosper.  I wanted to show people that although this world is very cruel and harsh to those with issues, with love, support, and determination, we can adapt and succeed.  And that hope is a powerful force.What type of reader did you write the book for?Someone who likes historical fiction novels.  Stories from our past that weave in history so that, hopefully, we can learn and grow from our past victories and mistakes.Can you tell us a little about Garit?Garit is a precocious and very smart young man.  Having been born premature and not expected to live, he has faced physical and health related challenges most of his life.  Being smaller, weaker, and less physically able than the other kids around him.  He and his mother realize that in order for him to succeed and prosper in the harsh world of the Mid-1800s, he would have to sharpen his mind.  And thankfully, he was a very smart and adaptable student.  Education was his refuge, as well as his hope for a better future.  Often the last picked to complete any physical task or endeavor, he excelled in school and had a knack for mathematics.  This became a valuable tool for him as he grew into a young...

What were the effects on their relationship? How did they tell their children and friends that they had cancer? What did cancer treatment cost?So many books about personal cancer experiences focus on the introspection of how life has changed for them. However, they tend to ignore the intimate details of the treatment process that caused those changes to body, mind, and spirit. From the punishment your body must endure to heal, to the intolerable doubts that can cloud your mind, this book provides a different perspective.The book is a tribute to veterans of the war on cancer, whether they have won or lost their battles. It is also for the friends and family on the sidelines who provide support while appearing to be strong yet are deflated by the odds. It is for everyone to learn that you simply don’t want to be one of the millions each year who develop this ugly disease.This is how we choose to share our journeys. It’s our hope that readers will find value in our stories. For those who are just beginning their journey, we wish them the absolute best!That’s an amazing cover.  Can you tell us about it?We didn’t want a cover that illustrated doom and gloom. Therefore, we chose a photo of ourselves taken on a day when we both felt pretty good even though we were at the height of our treatment regimes.What inspired the idea for the book?So many books about personal cancer experiences focus on the introspection of how life has changed for them after suffering with cancer.
