Jeffrey Ashkin's first novel, The Second Life of Jonathan Sendel, begins with a bewildered man who discovers he is a clone and is charged with finding the killer of his original self. As he and his assigned police officer dig into the case, he comes to a disturbing realization–the real Jonathan Sendel was not a solid citizen. The story begs the question, are we happy with the person we project to the world, or do we wish we could have a do-over? 

My conversation with Jeffrey who, in addition to being an author, actor and film maker also teaches public school, explores the inspiration of writing sci fi and his interest in cloning as a possible way to live forever. Give this episode a listen!
