My friend Derek McFadden has a mild case of cerebral palsy yet he has pushed himself to be a creative force of nature. He enjoys all creative things including movies, television, reading and writing. His book, WHAT DEATH TAUGHT TERRENCE has just released to wide acclaim. We discussed all of these things last night on Authors on the Air. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

About WHAT DEATH TAUGHT TERRENCE: "In What Death Taught Terrence, Derek McFadden builds a world that satisfies both our desire for imagination and our need for personal introspection. I found this story immediately immersive, and it stuck with me long after I finished. McFadden is doing something rare in today's fiction-exploring the limits of what we will believe to form a better understanding of who we are."

- Alex Dolan, author of The Euthanist and The Empress Of Tempera
