A Quest for Well-Being Building Connection Through Stories
— "Stories are how we as people communicate. They are instrumental for how we relate to members of family, community, or strangers who we find deep compassion for."
Valeria interviews Douglas Weissman — the author of "Life Between Seconds."
Douglas Weissman is a Los Angeles native who has lived in Florence, Rome, Sydney, and San Francisco. He can always be swayed by a good cookie or bad ice cream because even bad ice cream is pretty good.
He writes stories of friendship, of finding beauty in the grotesque, of finding magic in the mundane; stories about building bridges, about burning bridges, about growing trees, about turning trees into bridges, and the ways strangers find common ground.
His Young Adult series and New Adult novel were released by Epic Press in Fall 2016. His new novel, Life Between Seconds is out Nov. 15 by Histria Press.
He is a graduate of the Master of Fine Arts program in Creative Writing at the University of San Francisco and currently lives in Los Angeles with his gorgeous wife, fun-loving daughter, anxious dog, and indifferent cat. By the time you read this, he will probably have another cat.
