Back Now

---

Glenn Oleksak grew up in Northern New Jersey. After High School, he really did ride freight trains around the country. After years of wandering and job-hopping, he finally settled down right back where he started. 

He now works for a railroad where, as he puts it, he now has to "play by the rules." Back Now is his first novel. 

So, how much of "Back Now" is actually fiction? Glenn hesitates before answering, then starts with the disclaimer, "Well, obviously the body and time-switching part is fiction..." before trailing off. 

"You know," he states, "I actually cringed when I published this because to know the main Character - Mike - is to know me. So, yeah if you change the context a little... See, what happened was that I really did have the dream and found the dream location in real life, just like the book says. That August 24, sitting under the bridge in a location that I'd never been to in my life, but that was quite familiar to me through a dream, was when I came up with the idea for the book."

Are you working on another book?

"Yes. Something new - not an sequel to Back Now."

And can we expect you to imbed some of your, let us say, "different" life experiences?

Glenn laughs.

"Well, it's definitely different!"
