What is one book that has most inspired your life?
Although it isn't actually the most accurate interpretation of my own question. I can't help but think back to my grandmother and her obsession with Elvis Presley. She always had a large stack of books in his honor. I read a couple of them. One such story was a conspiracy about Elvis' life - it was utter hogwash, really. But, at the same time, it can be fun to read conspiracies, can't it? The weird coincidences some people can find to support their claim, no matter how outlandish (like Tupac and the 7-Day Theory). Anyways, I remember one claim was that Elvis Presley had come
out of hiding as an artist named Orion. For some reason or another, maybe it was because it was the way my grandmother and I bonded in that period (she died shortly after), but I named the main-protagonist of my first novel after that artist. So, ... in a way, mine's a conspiracy book about Elvis Presley. Thanks, Gail Brewer!
