Author Bio:
Zachary Lemon was born and raised in Michigan. He practices internal medicine, writes and records lo fi rock music, and—over the course of ten years—agonized over every sentence of his first novel, Vague Pains. He lives in the suburbs of Detroit, along with his long-suffering wife.
The idea for Vague Pains first came to Zachary during an overnight hospital shift as an internal medicine resident. While most authors develop their craft by writing many different stories, Zachary wrote and rewrote, and rewrote the same story over the following years. The result is a hypnotic novel with layers upon layers of meaning.
