Speaking with the co-author, Taryn Simpson

Lauren Smith:   How did you and your co-author meet?

Taryn Simpson:  I'm a professional ghostwriter and he contacted a writer friend of mine to "polish and punch up" his rough draft.  When my friend learned it was a fictional novel, she contacted me since that is my specialty to see if I was interested.  I read the synopsis and was hooked.  After discussing the book with him via email over a period of days, we decided to work together as co-authors.
 
Lauren Smith:   Why did you decide to write a book together?

Taryn Simpson:  For me, it wasn't a matter of "deciding".  I knew I had to.  I felt that Alan had a diamond in the rough and I knew it would take the combination of both our talents to make it come to fruition.
