Unique Heroes
Hi everyone,
You always wonder what makes a writer choose the topics they do for their novels. Is it based on personal experience or something that just came to them in a dream? For me, the topic and characters of FLYING TO THE LIGHT were a mix of a lot of things, such as the questions of "what actually happens to us when we die" and "is the world maybe a bit different than we think it is?" I wanted to choose a unique hero and chose Danny Anderson, a six year old deaf boy that knows the answer to these questions and having his naive, seventeen year old brother have to suddenly grow up and face challenges he never had to face before.
With its twists and turns I hope to keep everyone on their toes guessing at who the boys can trust and who they can't.
Enjoy!
