The Outback by David Clarkson @davidclarksonwriter

By Book Goodies Leave a Comment

When Matt joins the outback harvest trail he is filled with apprehension. Is it really worth doing three months of back breaking work in exchange for another year added to his visa? His new friends certainly think so and it is not long before they convince him of the same.

Of course, none of them are counting on their new boss. Rhett is cold, callous and delights in watching others suffer. Convinced that the old man is hiding a criminal past, the backpackers begin to do a little digging. Nothing, however, can prepare them for what they find…

As much a horror novel as a thriller, the author draws upon his experiences as a backpacker to create characters so real that the reader will think they know them. For anybody with an interest in travel and adventure, this story is a must read.

The book is written in British English.

Targeted Age Group:: 18 to 40

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When I was travelling through Australia, I wanted to find a book that captured the backpacker experience in the same way that The Beach does for Thailand. When I could not find such a book, I decided to write it myself.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
They are all loosely based on the people I met travelling as well as embodying different facets of my own personality/fears. I believe in strong characterisation – especially for thrillers. If you are going to place your characters in a bad situation, it is important to ensure that the reader cares about them first.

About the Author:
I grew up in the north east of England, where I studied English Literature at the University of Sunderland. After taking a pretty dull day job, I decided to quit and go travelling. I spent 3 years travelling through Australasia and Asia where I turned my hand to all manner of crazy stunts, which I now draw upon for my writing. Now settled back in the UK, I am happily married and always thinking of my next book.
