FORGOTTEN is a great book (My review here) with an interesting idea behind it. What would you do if you were gone for 6 months and had to restart your life?
Where
do you get the idea for your books?
Lots of different places!
More specifically, for my first novel Spin – about a journalist who follows a
celebrity into rehab – I was watching celebrities going in and out of rehab and
all the paparazzi setting up outside the rehab centers waiting desperately for
a photo and the idea just popped into my head. So, thank you TMZ.
For Arranged
– about a woman who uses an arranged marriage service – I knew a couple of
people who’d had traditional arranged marriages and so the idea was in my head
for a while: why would someone do that? And then I was (ahem) watching The Bachelor one night and I remember
saying sarcastically to myself: why don’t they just have a show where they
marry people off who don’t even know each other? Yeah, why don’t they?
For Forgotten
– about a woman who returns home after she goes missing in Africa to
discover that everyone in her life thought she was dead – I heard a story about
a woman who had been stuck in Africa for six months and when she returned home
her apartment had been rented to someone else and all her stuff was gone. I
didn’t – and still don’t – know anything more about her, but I thought it was
an interesting premise to explore.
So, to summarize: gossip TV, reality TV,
reality.
