DNA: What made you decide that this was the story you wanted to tell at this time?
Andrew Fleming: It was the characters, Paul and Erasmus. I tried to make a story happen with them but it didn’t work until somebody suggested they have a kid. I fact, I was in a long-term relationship with a man and was living with his son from a marriage to a woman. I was living a life like this. Different though; this isn’t an autobiography, but I found I had a lot to say.
