Pax-salon Mailing List: Pax-Salon (Author, Colin Nelson)

[Patty Guerrero (pattypax]

Hi , Tomorrow night, April 16, Author, Colin Nelson will be our guest.  We will 
discuss his books:

Author of Reprisal, Fallout, and Flashover (Coming soon)  Suspense novels 
published by North Star Press

He also sent out questions that can be discussed:

 I've included some discussion questions that could start us out.  I also have 
many stories about criminals and the courts--some tragic, some funny, that I 
often tell audiences.  Those stories lead to discussions.  So, in no special 
order, here are some topics we could cover:
1.  How is the idea of tolerance demonstrated in the story?
2.  What's it like to be a feminist and a progressive Muslim in American today?
3.  How did I research the character of Zehra?
4.  Do domestic terrorists really exist?  Isn't someone "doing something about 
them?"
5.  Can investigators really get as much private information off of smart 
phones as they do in the story?  What about other technology like our laptops?
6.  Are the problems of trafficking of people and contraband still occurring?
7.  How does Zehra overcome her challenges: PTSD, her case in trial falling 
apart, her relationship with Paul?
8.  Why would a prosecutor either pursue a criminal case or dismiss it?  What 
powers does a prosecutor have?
9.  Let's talk about the "maneuvering" the lawyers and judge do behind closed 
doors?

        Thanks,

        Patty
