Hello, Dan McCrory, what is your book called and what genre does it belong?
You Will Forever Be My Always - literary fiction.
So tell us what is it about?
A novel that is sparse and raw. It is the story of Charlie Wise, asshole. He has cheated on his wife for years, forsaken his friends, and left behind a trail of broken hearts and broken people. When he discovers he has Parkinson's Disease, convinced he's dying, he tries to make amends and, in the process, write the Great American Novel. His quest for salvation takes him to a Catholic church in Bangkok and a Muslim funeral on a hillside in Morocco looking for answers. He leaves behind the old Charlie and comes home to finish his transformation on his Texas apology tour. The novel is full of humor and tomfoolery with a gentle jab at religion, (all of them) and a cathartic experience as the author tries to cope with his own diagnosis of PD.
What inspired you to write your book?
Dealing with my Parkinson's, wanting to know more and COVID lockdown.
