Interview: This week, Mike and Mike talk with Douglas Clegg about his latest novel, Neverland.
Doug talks about how much his growing up in the 1960s influenced many of the elements of the story, including the impacts of family secrets and the dark undercurrents that kids experience but don’t fully understand.

I enjoyed this interview; I don’t really know that much about the 60′s (beyond a historical aspect, that is) and I find it quite fascinating. My wife and I have been watching Mad Men and have been wondering how much of it was sensationalized for television; it was interesting to hear you guys’ reminiscing about your own childhoods in that era.
Also, I just wanted to add, I am not a luddite–I love technology, I love e-readers and even own an iPad… but isn’t there something else you guys can talk about? I mean, you seem to be making the same point every week! We got it, guys! Digital age=good for writers. iPad=good for people not used to tech. Ok, got it ^_^
