The Story Behind This Book

Interview with the Author, Alice Elliott Brown

Why did you write this book?
This is that book that builds up the pressure inside you begging to get out. I feel like I didn't so much write this book, as I released it from its cage. It was inside me banging on my ribs demanding to erupt through the birth canal.

So this book is its own life form, in a sense?
Certainly from my perspective, it has its own message. I didn't actually know what it said until I read it. Then, I was pretty impressed and awed. Especially in the end, when the inner mind aspects revealed how they speak. But that would be the spoiler. I can't talk about that here.

What do you hope people will get from your book?
Beyond entertainment, a moment of fantasy, and a good read? I hope people will get to know themselves and learn to hear themselves think. Too often, in our society, we distract ourselves with the thoughts of others. We forget to pay attention to our own thoughts and ideas. This book helps people realize and remember who they are, and understand what they already know.
