The Most Dangerous Place on Earth : The Sanatorium of St. Michael

When I was writing the exorcism sections for  Bridge of Souls, I wanted to make the presentation of the material feel as realistic as possible. So, given my background in education, I set myself the task of designing the academic curriculum for a course that would equip Thomas O'Neill (and my readers) for the supernatural elements that were to come later in the story.

So was born the post-doctoral seminar programme titled, “Discarnate Intelligence: Theological and Historical Perspectives”. I located my fictional course at the Pontificia Università Gregoriana, or PUG in Rome. The highest seat of theological learning in the Roman Catholic Church.

But, once I had O'Neill attending the course, I was suddenly struck with a question.

What happens to the Exorcists who, in dealing with extraordinary influence of Evil (the theological definition of demonic possession), become themselves victims? I decided there should be a sanctuary that would tend to the care of these most unfortunate souls.

So was born one of my all time favourite places in the entire book, The Sanatorium of St. Michael. A place where even the most violent criminally insane would be afraid.

Creating Strong Female Characters and Powerful Female Roles in Bridge of Souls

Those who are familiar with my life, before adventure writing, will know that I have devoted a considerable part of my career to increasing equality of opportunity for those who face unfair obstacles in their attempts at self improvement. For example, after spending years trying to highlight the inequality in opportunity for women in technology, by conducting research showing females were just as technically competent as males in technology fields (it may sound shocking but that was not always accepted!), I found that nothing was really changing. So I gave up my safe academic post and travelled to the Middle East, where I worked to help establish educational programmes for female students, who would otherwise have had their educational opportunities stifled within a very male dominated society. Females Characters and Roles in Bridge of Souls When I came to writing Bridge of Souls I was very conscious that I wanted to create strong fema...

Life Experience: a catalyst for inspiration and realism

“Write what you know.” ― Mark Twain Role Models for Aspiring Authors When aspiring writers look for advice on how to guide or develop their own writing they often come across the axiom “ Write what you know ”, a saying attributed to both Twain and Hemingway (I have cited Twain as he was the earlier of the two writers). As a novice writer one can understand how life experience acted as a powerful catalyst for some writers to make their work both realistic and highly detailed. If we take the action and espionage genre of fiction, then we can see clear examples of how individuals who enjoyed careers in the intelligence community went on to write highly successful spy novels. Ian Fleming served in the British Navy Intelligence during the second world war and his experiences were used to create the James Bond series of spy novels. David John Cornwell (better known by his ...
