All of my novels are seeded in real life events, and 'The Wreckage' is no different.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, my books - I think one of the hallmarks of my thrillers is that they're based in reality.
Most everything that happens to me in any significant sense finds its way into my fiction.
The unfolding of a story is both as exciting and as difficult for each and every novel I've written, regardless of time and place.
As a novelist, I have always been interested in how people come to terms with difficult, life-altering events.
My novels aren't really generated by a single conceptual spark; it's more a process of many different elements that come together unexpectedly over a long period of time.
More often than not, real life is so rich, complex and unpredictable that it would seem completely implausible in the pages of a novel.
Every moment of a science fiction story must represent the triumph of writing over world-building.
Our lives aren't prepackaged along narrative lines and, therefore, by its very nature, reality-based art - underprocessed, underproduced - splinters and explodes.
The stories I write are often literal to events that have happened or observations that I've made, and sometimes they're fantastical.
I've seen people around me write books, and somehow they're always in the center of everything that happened; they were the one who made it happen. There's been a lot of those books that didn't really interest me much.
