SIDELIGHTS:
Wayne Mitchell told CA: "Some people write because they 'want to write.' Others write to convey their experience. Tamara and I didn't set out to rewrite what has been written, to compile what others have said, or to make a living. We write because we experienced something which needs to be expressed."
