What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I’ve always wanted to write a novel about people fighting to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, and coupled with my fascination with the Yellowstone Supervolcano, a story was born. Classic novels such as Lucifer’s Hammer were aslo an inspiration to me, as I’ve always loved those kinds of books.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I based my characters on people I know in real life, coupled with characters in movies and fiction books, and molded them to fit the requirements of the story.
Book Sample
Sam noticed Jimmy standing up and looking at the horizon ahead of him with a jaw-dropping stare. Stuffing the last bit of sandwich in his mouth, he said, “What’s the matter, Jimmy? Finally seeing some wildlife?”
Jimmy pointed with his finger, his mouth pretending to form words, but no sound came out of it. Annoyed that his son wouldn’t answer him, Sam swung his legs around and stood up so he could see in the direction of Jimmy’s open-mouthed gaze. For the next few seconds, his mind struggled to process what he saw. Over the distant, nearly cloudless horizon, a gray mushroom cloud expanded into the sky at a frightening rate of speed. He raised his finger toward it as Irene and Eliza stood up to gawk at the sight as well.
Irene spoke first. “Oh. My. God. Is that what I think it is?”
Jimmy spoke next. “It’s Yellowstone! It’s going off just like Uncle Ryan said it would!”
Just like Ryan said it would. It didn’t take long for the logic center of his brain to put two and two together, resulting in a horrible, sinking feeling in his stomach, combined with a paralyzing terror. Although they stood an incredible three hundred miles away, the eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano appeared stupendously huge, growing more voluminous by the second.
