My co-author, Paul McCusker, loves speculative fiction that explores the dramatic possibilities of normal people in abnormal situations. When he was visiting relatives in the small village of Eyam in England, he was struck by its story when the Black Plague nearly destroyed the village. What was even more intriguing to him was the story of the sacrificial actions of the villagers and the modern medical mysteries triggered by the event. He began to work on an idea that became TSI, and quickly realized he would need help from someone with a writing and a medical background -- so, he gave me a phone call. Paul and I met not too long after I joined Focus on the Family in early 2001, as Vice President and Family Physician in Residence. We admired each other’s work and began to build a friendship that has only deepened through the years. For me, it has been a terrific privilege and honor to work with Paul on this book. And, we’re already hard at work on the sequel, "Time Scene Investigators: The Influenza Bomb." Best of all, we’ve had a ton of fun working together.
