From the Jesuit website::

An audience of almost a hundred parents, alumni, faculty, and friends paid rapt attention Monday evening (August 17) to Boy's Life author Robert McCammon, who visited Jesuit High School in connection with the Big J Read project.

Mr. McCammon shared the pleasures and difficulties of the writing process, including conceiving ideas and bringing them to fruition, character and plot development, and even the delicate art of negotiating with the publisher the inclusion of profanity in books such as Boy's Life

Following his address, Mr. McCammon graciously answered questions, signed his books, and chatted with several Blue Jay bibliophiles.
