Last week I blogged that I had one final interview to complete before finishing my book revisions. I spoke too soon. On Friday I got an email from the author of a study I refer to in the book, and she said she would be glad to chat with me about her work. Anytime you can get a professor to talk about their research instead of just using their statistics is helpful - it makes not only for a richer understanding of the material, but also generates good quotes.
The fun thing about writing on mothers and sons is the variety of folks I get to talk to. Today's interview is with a woman who studied marriage patterns. The part of her research I'm interested in is the extent to which men marry women like their mothers. Last week, I got to talk to the mother of an NFL quarterback.
And next week....wait...next week I will be done with revisions. In fact, once I shoehorn in this woman's quotes today, I expect to send in the revised manuscript. Stay tuned....
