BT: Where are you from?
DD: Altamonte Springs, FL
BT: Do you have any news to share? We love to sing our fangs into juicy news.
DD: Juicy news? Hmm, not really. But if you would like to read an interesting story about how my work in the paranormal came full circle with the Spiritualist Community of Cassadaga, FL, check out this blog posting from last November. Here’s the URL: http://dougdillon.com/2012/01/12/cassadaga-fl-a-lesson-in-coincidental-events/
BT: When and why did you begin writing?
DD: My writing for publication began in 1979 after my dad’s death. Paranormal events had occurred in relation to that loss, causing my wife and myself to explore the supernatural. We collected so many notes that we decided to put it into book form as co-authors. We titled it, An Explosion of Being: An American Family’s Journey into the Psychic, and eventually an imprint of Prentice Hall came out with the first edition. Last fall, after the book being out of print for many years, my wife and I brought it back into the literary light of day through our own publishing company.
BT: Have you always considered yourself a writer?
DD: No. Before that initial book, I had been a teacher and school administrator. The only writing I had done were reports, curricula, lesson plans and newsletters.
