From 2000-2007 I did a series of interviews with people who had gone through dark periods in their lives, survived and in some cases had epiphanies. I hoped these interviews would help illuminate the lives of readers. In 2020, when COVID-19 began to shadow the world, I put the best of these interviews in an eBook called From Darkness to Light.
