An Interview With Terri Morgan, Author of Playing the Genetic Lottery
What is the working title of your book?
Playing the Genetic Lottery
Where did the idea come from?
A conversation with a friend who had met a woman who essentially raised her 6 younger siblings
because both her parents were schizophrenic.
What is the one-sentence synopsis?
Playing the Genetic Lottery is a fictional memoir of a strong and resilient 32-year-old wife and mother who grew up with two schizophrenic parents.
Is your book self published?
Yes
How long did it take you to write the first draft?
Nine months
What other books or authors would you compare this story to within your genre?
Hard to say, but perhaps Jodi Picoult, because I did a tremendous amount of research before I wrote my novel, and have woven factual information into the story.
What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
Along with exploring how much nature and nurture influence a person, my novel will also appeal to anyone who has grown up in a dysfunctional family.
Where can we find your work?
Glad you asked!
