Quotes from this Episode: 

“If you are working in a Secret Service you will be standing next to the President and Vice-President whoever some point, just by the nature of the job you’ll be staying next to the stage.” –J.J. Hensley

“The certain requirements they look are age requirements and physical requirements, and you have to pass the background, meet the demands, wiling to move whenever they tell you to move and travel whenever they tell you to travel.” –J.J. Hensley

“The support we get from the writing community is just phenomenal, one of the uncomfortable things that I ever have to do with writing is to get blurbs that the whole quotes at the back of the book. You send the manuscript out and hope that somebody with a huge name is going to give you blurbs.” –J.J. Hensley
