It can be tricky getting the balance right, and I did go through a few ‘science bit’ versions to try and ensure it had enough technical detail whilst remaining accessible to readers.

Even though there's a lot of science behind it, I never felt bogged down in the science when I was reading it. It's very much a fast, action-oriented book, but with well-developed characters and ethical questions to get Nola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714557384991568904.post-90661726020942304812014-08-25T12:01:10.827+12:002014-08-25T12:01:10.827+12:00Great interview, thanks ladies.

How wonderful it would be if some day, medical science is able to do for other sufferers just what Professor Ramer did for Blaine. I'm happy to find out there's a draft sequel. I must admit, I'm intrigued about the futures of Blaine and Sophie.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.com
