Author Profile: Daniel McNeet, Operation Downfall
Why did you decide to write this book?
Because of political corruption in the highest levels of our government.
Do you have any secret writing tips you’d like to share?
I write organically. I put two characters together in a situation, become curious as to what they will do, watch them and transcribe their actions.
Tell us a quirky or funny story about you!
I got out of the shower and dried my body. I walked down the hallway looking for my wife. I found her in the living room. She was sitting with a lady a mutual friend of ours talking quietly, and I did not hear them. I said, “Good afternoon.” My wife said to me, “I forgot to tell you I was going to be entertaining a guest.” The lady said, “I did not recognize you with your clothes off.” I told them with a smile, “Good afternoon, ladies.” They laughed, so did I, and I walked back down the hallway still laughing to myself.
Have you ever battled writer’s block? How do you deal with it?
No, not yet. But I am sure it will show up one of these days. And, if it does, I will win the battle and will be pleased to tell you about it.
What’s your favorite quote?
“No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it.” President Theodore Roosevelt 1908
Who inspires you the most?
The love of my life, my wife.
