It doesn’t really matter for this post because I can still tell you why I wrote this book “Benefits:”

  • wasn’t done with the characters –
  • wanted to find out what happened to the main character, who had a life-threatening illness at the close of “Benediction”
  • seems short sighted to abandon characters when so much more could happen to them
  • The story resonated with a great many people, who saw themselves in the milieu or who identified with the characters
  • Ben is my alter-ego and it’s very comfortable for me to write in his voice
  • I had ideas about what happens next to him and other characters
  • readers would ask me what happened to Ben, since I left it unresolved, and I didn’t have a great answer
  • there is life and love after prostate cancer, and I wanted to process that through my writing and also deliver that message, in other words, what it’s like to have an active love life as a prostate cancer survivor
  • and maybe the best part if you’re just finding this — you don’t have to read the original to understand the sequel – Benefits can stand on its own.
