I, too, have a character who has a "touch" of OCD and wrote this from my own perspective of having the disorder. Apparently, I was diagnosed at age 19 but my mother didn't bother telling me until I was 45 while in the doctor's office. Explains a lot, doesn't it?! My OCD has improved greatly over the years and most family members think I'm quirky and funny. Hmm. <br /><br />I can't wait to read your book and hope you'll read my debut, THURSDAYS AT COCONUTS. We can compare notes. :) My best to your son.
