     In late 2022, Ronald Mazzella had recalled how Kevin Kwan had gotten the  idea to write this novel, Crazy Rich Asians.  This prompted him to search though his unpublished poems. He quickly decided that the poem about a mass shooter would be a viable idea to develop as a novel.

     Based on research on two mass shooters–Charles Whitman, Stephen Paddock–along with research on brain imaging technology. Ronald G. Mazzella constructed his atypical mass shooter.  With a narrative arc involving a medical/literary thriller, Ronald G. Mazzella details all the accompanying consequences pertaining to this mass shooting by this atypical mass shooter.  The reader is thus left satisfied on how this book finally ends.
