城市评论： 告诉我们的读者白热病。
罗兰·杰斐逊（Roland S. Jefferson）： Well,
白大褂发烧 is a romantic melodrama 那 takes place in the 1960's on a HBCU campus during the explosive civil rights era. It centers on distorted values during a time in African American society when college-age girls were socially mandated by their families to maintain their middle-class status by marrying doctors...by any means necessary----even if it meant they didn't love them. It follows three childhood friends as they matriculate through college &医学院，他们的爱& disappointments all shaped by the unfolding civil rights movement 那 draws them into an irrversible conflict with class, color and ideals of romantic entitlement 那 changes them in profound ways they never anticipated.
城市评论： 这本书的想法是怎么产生的？
罗兰·杰斐逊（Roland S. Jefferson）： I'd always had the idea for this story largely because I lived it. For the past 40 or so years my family has constantly been on my back to write it, so I finally did. I guess they saw a social and relevance 那 I didn't, probably because I was too close to it. But once I started writing it, I could finally see they maybe had a point, 那 this story was rooted in traditional African American middle-class history (be 那 good or bad).

城市评论： What has been your best experience so far as a published author?
罗兰·杰斐逊（Roland S. Jefferson）： 得到黑人女性读者的积极反馈。
城市评论： Who or what inspired you to want to become a writer?
罗兰·杰斐逊（Roland S. Jefferson）： No one in particular. As a youngster I always had a penchant for adventure stories and wanted to write. But the family discouraged 那 career choice, thinking it would not be a profession 那 could sustain itself. At 那 time, in the 1950's there weren't but a few black writers who'd broken through to celebrity stastus. So to some degree I suppose they were right, because they only wanted the best for me. So in later years I had to discover my writing talent on my own.
城市评论： Do you have any ideas or plans for any upcoming projects?

城市评论： What things 能够 you suggest to other writers 那 are thinking about self-publishing their 小说?
罗兰·杰斐逊（Roland S. Jefferson）： 写小说很容易。享受其中的一部分。因为一旦完成并编辑，工作就真正开始了。您将面临的最大障碍是，要使该书进行宣传，分发和进入书店以及对其进行审核，需要花费大量时间和金钱。通常，美国大部分主要报纸和杂志都断然拒绝审查自己出版的书籍。您可以通过公共访问节目获得一些电视曝光，但您确实想成为CNN和CNBC的一员。而且，连锁书店必须被踢到桌子上大喊大叫，以使他们放弃自己出版书架的空间。当然，互联网正在改变所有这一切，但是仍然存在大量的营销和促销费用，以使一本书进入公众视野。请记住，您每年要面对其他200,000本书，因此您需要剪裁自己的作品，以在人群中脱颖而出。 E. Lynn Harris，Relentless Arron和Nikki Turner都是自我出版的作家，他们运用有创造力和不懈的努力取得了回报，并取得了重大的书籍交易和（或）自己的书籍烙印。
城市评论： 您还有其他想分享的关于自己或小说的信息吗？
罗兰·杰斐逊（Roland S. Jefferson）： Just 那 it's a book with lots of romance, some explosive historical facts 那 will make some readers squeamish, and a theme guaranteed to make some black women uncomfortable. It wasn't written with 那 in mind of course. But then I was there...

亚历山大·汉密尔顿和马尔科姆·X被引用说“那些一无所有的人，一无所有的人。” 这几乎描述了芝诺维亚，除了她确实与上帝有关系，而且她自己也知道圣经。因此，当夏洛特（Charlotte）和来自牺牲者弟兄的女儿艾莉莎（Alyssa）敲门声称自己有“good news,”Zenovia为什么不理会她的礼物并决定与母亲一起加入？是因为她的妈妈，还是回到教堂的兴奋？
