A month before release date, an old patient of my dad's from his dental practice in Masschusetts posted one of my short stories on our hometown's facebook page. Back in 2006, the story, A Lucky Man, was a finalist in a contest for The Preservation Foundation and eventually morphed into my novel. The post generated a stream of memories and praise from my dad's patients from more than 25 years ago--he retired in 1990. Click to view: "I grew up in Northboro, Massachusetts."
