I have just finished reading EMP and really enjoyed that book - especially as the narration was more matter-of-fact than some oh so well known heroic and always the same style books of the same genre, which made it somehow more real for me. Question is: will there be a follow-up? I would love to know if David will set out to find his family against all odds?
Wilson Harp Hi Birgit,

So sorry, I don't come to goodreads very often so I didn't see this. Yes, the sequel to 'EMP' is the book 'EMP: Heading Home' and it is the very story you ask about.

David, Ted, Kenny, and Anne travel towards Chicago to find David's family.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Wilson Harp I was reading a lot of prepper websites and blogs. The idea of an end of the world situation has usually been handled with high drama in fiction. I was trying to imagine what life would really be like for a survivor of something like an EMP. The world wouldn't be like Mad Max, it wouldn't even be a direct plunge into a gritty, grimy existence. It would be a steady and unrelenting breakdown of everything around us.

I had the idea of survival in a small, rural town (where I believe the chance of survival would be highest) and thought about what it would look like through the eyes of someone who hadn't necessarily thought about what it would take to survive in that type of situation.

'EMP' should be out soon and is a first-person account of life in a small town after a world wide Electro-Magnetic Pulse strikes due to a massive solar flare.
