Question
Hello,
My husband and I are writing a book an addiction and recovery from Heroin/opiates.
My husband suffered through addiction for 15 years and now is clean and wants to write an inspirational book for those who are in a dark place with addiction. We have a number of stories from others who have also over come addiction how they did it and where they are now.
I was wondering if you would be interested in answering some questions for our book? I would ask you about 10-12 questions, I would email them to you then make a pre arranged time to call you to conduct the interview. In return for your time I would be happy for you to mention your great service in the interview and your web address, I would also send you a copy of the book.
Thank you for your time
Emma
Hi Emma,
Thanks for thinking of me for this. Have you read answers to my past questions? I adhere to a fairly left leaning harm reduction stance and advocate for drug law reform. If you are okay with this, I am happy to have a look at the questions. Also, is it a self published book?
Let me know if you are happy for me to see the questions before I make up my mind.
