Episode 007: Based on Real Events…If They Went to Hell
Finally! With my personal backstory established, it's time to kick of the podcast season's second half with the history behind my novel, Krelle's Inferno. Rooted in my professional research and knowledge of the Second World War and early Cold War, the book instead explores an alternate history timeline that skews from a fateful and decisive event in human history - the "D-Day" invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Hear about how and why I made the creative choices I did in building Geren Krelle's frightening world, and how actual history and counterfactual history can tell similarly human stories in dynamically different ways.
