Have you acquired any good anecdotes surrounding this book? If so, could you share one?
Rick Godejohn
The science behind the plot line is pretty deep. I had to remind myself of the different levels of understanding of my readers. When I tried to explain the concept of a Nuclear Powered Reactor to my mother, I couldn't get past the "Hot rock, make steam, go roundy-roundy" stage. It reminded me to keep the theory behind DNA simple and as much of a background as possible. The story was in the characters more than the science.

Why do you write?
Rick Godejohn
I write for the story. I had an idea that would not go away. I had to write it down. That idea became Time in Eternity
, and the sequel is spilling into my laptop as we speak.Free Book Reviews
What is your greatest strength as a writer?
Rick Godejohn
I have a great habit of getting to the point. I'm not going to describe a dot on a wall that isn't vitally important to the story. There's conversations to have and action to describe. A person's imagination is the best ally of a good writer, because it can fill in the intentional voids of the author's pen.

What quality do you most value in yourself?
Rick Godejohn
I am a realist. While science fiction is fantastic and unreal, my writing is just outside of reality. Believability and reality help draw the reader into the story.
