There is a series on Biography channel called "I survived" which is a series of stories about surviving horrible situations: car jacking, serial killers, natural disasters, etc. The stories are told by the actual people that experienced the event. I find the stories fascinating and deeply inspiring.<br /><br />As to what inspired Sole Survivor specifically? Hmmm, I wanted to explore someone who had survived a horrific situation and then was faced with it again. How would they respond? Would the first experience inform their choices? Would they be better able to deal or so overwhelmed that they would collapse? <br /><br />Within that mash of questions, I wanted to tell both sides of this person's story--the overcoming of the past, the opening up to trusting enough to fall in love, etc. Hopefully, I have achieved a small portion of those things!<br /><br />Again, thank you for asking!<br /><br />Matthew ScrivensAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-26475307734689583962012-03-30T19:01:22.415-04:002012-03-30T19:01:22.415-04:00All of these books sound spectacular.

I'm usually not a fan of such dark books, but this one catches my attention.<br /><br />ashley.vanburen[at]gmail[dot]comAshley Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689247656658859937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-14387375233686775342012-03-30T16:03:19.938-04:002012-03-30T16:03:19.938-04:00Congratulations on the books!

I'm Matthew Scrivens, author of Sole Survivor. <br /><br />As you might be able to tell from the blurb, my novel is about a man who survived a horrific experience at the hands of a notorious serial killer. He moves to NYC to start a new life and leave behind the public moniker "Adam, the Sole Survivor." <br /><br />Unbeknownst to Adam, one of the members of the group he facilitates is a budding serial killer. Todd enjoys the absolute power that comes from killing his sexual partners. When he discovers who Adam is, Todd decides to get the one that got away.<br /><br />One of the things that readers might find interesting about my book is that the story is told from three viewpoints: Adam--the survivor who has been rebuilding his life, Jake--the out and proud NYPD detective who is courting Adam, and Todd--the sadistic serial killer. <br /><br />Many of the readers have commented about how disturbing my villain is. To be honest, I don't hold back. I used to therapeutically work with murderers, rapists and molesters, so I have good insight into how dark their minds can be. As rational people, we don't think about the fact that many of these perpetrators don't think they are evil. They always have "valid" reasons for the horrific deeds they do--at least in their own minds. <br /><br />A book about a serial killer is bound to be dark--and mine is--but there is also romance and a few laughs to found here!<br /><br />Again, thank you so much for the welcome and the opportunity to ramble about my book!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br />Matthew ScrivensAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-4410992968913913892012-03-30T13:43:49.297-04:002012-03-30T13:43:49.297-04:00JMS Books- congrats on all the new releases.
