I brought it to my literary agent.

She thought it was an absolutely terrible book idea.

I noticed what it did for me.

I came back to her after several years and I said there might be a larger story here.

She still wasn't convinced, but she was tired of me begging and so we put together the proposal.

That's how this book came about.

There was no looking at if people were even interested in the subject.

and thought, again, that there might be a untold story that was hiding beneath all this stuff that we see online.

The book came out, was released about six weeks into lockdown.

into COVID, you know?

And so I think that when people were denied the ability to breathe, that they started to understand that this might be an important thing that they might want to reconsider, especially people along COVID who had really bad cases.

It could take them weeks or months to rehabilitate themselves.

And they noticed what a difference it made once they were able to do that.

So I think that was the thing that really brought public awareness to it.
