Since finishing "The Old Man's War" and "The Ghost Brigade" by John Scalzi, I've been a semi-regular visitor at his
blog.
He has a blog category called "Big Ideas" where authors explaining the the big ideas behind their latest works, in their own words.
Yesterday's
Big Idea was author Wendelin Van Draanen's inspiration for her YA novel "The Running Dream", the story of a young runner who loses her leg in an accident.
I was hooked and purchased the book last night and am nearly 1/3 through it this morning. A first person tale of pain, anger, frustration and hope. Think I'll finish it today.
