There are actually two stories behind my new thriller,
SUBMERGED. It was inspired by my fear of being trapped in a submerged vehicle and
also by a long-time friend who dealt with drug addiction while on the job as a
paramedic.
I've traveled a lot by car, even coast to coast across
Canada, more than once. I've also lived near water, whether an ocean, river or
lake. Ever since I was young, I would grow tense if our vehicle drifted too
close to an embankment that separated us from a body of water. Even to this
day, I tense up when the car I'm in gets too close to water. Having a wild
imagination isn't always a good thing; I often envision the car jettisoning
into the water and then slowly sinking. Drowning has been a deep fear of mine
and I have often wondered how I'd get out if I found myself in that situation.
Marcus's character grew from a high school friend, who
shared very personal details about his life, his former paramedic career and
his addiction challenges. I am inspired by him because he managed to turn his
life around. He now has a wonderful wife and family, and a new career. His
story reminds me that we CAN change. We CAN make our lives better. And it
starts with a choice. He chose not to let addiction rule or define him. I
admire that.
