AUTHOR'S NOTE
"Who's house is that?"
The origin of Getaway is a fun one. My wife's family booked a "camping" trip in a cabin off of AirBnB. When we got there, an idea for a quick novella hit me and I started writing that very night. Where we were staying worked as the true to life backdrop for the story. Did I tell anyone this while on the trip? Of course not!
Fun fact, the image on the front cover of the cabin is the actually cabin we stayed at during the trip. I snapped a few photos and sent them to my cover artist at the time to see what he could come up with. He did not disappoint. I loved the cover and was excited to get this novella out there.
During the book cover reveal, I recall getting a message from my wife's family saying, "Hey, that's the cabin we stayed out...kinda creepy dude." Wait until they read the book full of murder and family betrayal, I thought haha. Thus is the life of an author. Our minds are always thinking about our books and we're constantly dragging real life scenarios and experiences into our work. So, if you're friends with a writer or someone close to you is an author, chances are you're in their book somewhere!
