Questions for Kevin Schewe, author of Bad Love Strikes

1. Bad Love Strikes is your debut novel. You have a busy and fulfilling career as a radiation oncologist. Why did you decide to write a book? As a preface to my answer, I have

She said, “You know what, Dr. Schewe, I know a lot of doctors who say they want to write a book, but I don’t know any authors who say they want to be a doctor!” So for me personally, I do enjoy writing and I’m one of those doctors who had many ideas for various books through the years. Most of those conceptual books have been about fighting cancer, coping with cancer or keeping your immune system healthy and vigilant.

When I say “inspired”, it was more like being struck by a bolt of lightning! I did about six weeks of background research and started writing on 01-14-2019. The day I started writing, I had the whole story in my head and wrote every day for 90 straight days – finishing “Bad Love Strikes” on 04-14-2019. I can honestly say, I wrote this book as an act of inspiration.
