Smashwords Interview

How did you discover Pressure Point Therapy?
I was new in practice and had a patient come in who was a very tall, big gentleman. But he was bent in half, literally! He threw his back out lifting a garage door. It took me several minutes just to get him on the table. Other than the pain, his main concern was being able to go bowling--that night! I was hoping I could get him off the table after my treatment!

I did as much chiropractic on him that I could, which wasn't much because of his severe pain. So I started working a series of points I learned when I studied acupuncture. But I used my hands, not needles. After working on his lower back I started working points going down his legs. These points were along the sciatic nerve, which goes from the lower back to the toes! I found and treated the tender points.

After about 20 minutes I asked him to get off the table. He stood up straight! He was able to move around normally. He thanked me and asked if he could bowl in a few hours. He had such a good response I told him, why not?

Pressure Point Therapy was borne during that treatment!
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Maybe one of the best places to grow up. I went to school with the Coen brothers. I was a musician and my neighbor and another friend, who I played in garage bands with, auditioned with Prince, when he first was starting his fame. They got the gig, Bobby Z and Dr. Fink. Matt Fink lived like 4 houses from me. There were lots of arts and creativity.

For me, my writing style is similar to the way I speak or lecture. I could almost dictate a book but I enjoy the time writing!
