Interview with Anthony S.
Policastro on Absence of Faith
Q.
Where do you get your ideas for a book?
ASP:
I’m always thinking of what ifs. What if a plane going overhead suddenly
crashed on a busy interstate during rush hour? What would that be like? What if
someone launched a program on the Internet that caused people to change how they
thought of a certain group of people?
I
guess this goes back to my curiosity as a kid. I was always interested is how
things work, what makes them work and why they do the things they do. I still
have that curiosity. I like to push
the envelope and see what happens, and then I know how and why things work the
way they do. One of my favorite web sites is How Stuff Works. Sometimes I think
that site was made for me. (More)

by Dan London, Director of Online Marketing at Lulu.com
"I have always had this urge to write, to communicate my thoughts to
others. I believe I have a unique perspective on the world and I want to share
that with others. I also believe we all have a unique perspective, but some have
this itch to share it while others don’t give it a second thought. I’m
always itching." (More)
Interview
by Wendy Burt - The Query Queen
"I want to tell a story that helps people live more meaningful
lives - a story that enables them to better understand the problems facing
everyone. A lot of writers write for themselves and there is nothing wrong with
this because what they write sometimes helps all of us. I always write with the
reader in mind and what they will get out of my work." (More)

by Books on the Knob
"That’s a loaded question. Every author believes they have a
bestseller, but the truth will be known when people read it and recommend it to
others. I hope so, but the market will decide that for me."
