![]() The final chapters of Monsoon Rising were based on that feeling and take place on that jungle river.Although it sounds kind of strange, I believe good writing is about telling the truth. ![]() I'd be dead by morning." It was a spooky feeling. I remember thinking "If this boat sank I would need to hoof it out by foot through the jungle. When I was writing 'Monsoon Rising' I went to Borneo and took a houseboat up a river to visit the orangutang sanctuaries. Many of these little scenes end up in my stories, some even end up effecting the actual plot. I take thousands of photos of the places that I visit and take pages of notes of the strange things that happen so when it's time to write I can go back and jar my memory. I am a firm believer that actually visiting or living in the place you are writing about gives authenticity to the story and can help bring the characters alive. I have been traveling the world for three years now searching for interesting settings for my stories. ![]()
