However, five years ago my daughter started taekwondo and I spent a good part of every week practicing with her. My fear of standing up in front of other people has always held me back from taking a class. No, I don't have a black belt in anything. For my upcoming novel, Sleepers, I used one portion of life that I'm very passionate about - martial arts. I think my life is far more boring than what happens in my books.īut, there is an exception to every rule. But it's very, very rare that anything from my actual life will show up in my novels.
Sure, many of the characters are names stolen from friends (Johna and Hanne, for example), and maybe my emotional state will impact the direction of the novel while I'm first drafting.
When readers talk to me about Anathema and Oubliette, they often ask how my real life impacts my stories. Real Life (Almost) Never Impacts My Writing
