SUBMERGED author, Cheryl Kaye Tardif, talks about fear
SUBMERGED author,
Cheryl Kaye Tardif, talks about fear
As part of her official SUBMERGED Blog Tour,
international bestselling author Cheryl Kaye Tardif has stopped by my blog to
share with us one of the themes of her new thriller…
What inspires me
most to write the novels I've written? Fear!
One of
the most common questions I hear as an author is: "What inspired you to
write this novel?" If I were to answer 100% truthfully, my answer is: "Fear."
As a suspense author, my goal is to tap into the deepest of fears and make them
one hundred times more terrifying. I am always asking, "What are you
afraid of?"
In DIVINE
INTERVENTION, I deal with the fear of not being accepted for who you are. I
also explore the fear of being hunted by a serial arsonist. I'm sure most of us
can identify with the first fear, but hopefully none of you can identify with
the latter. This thriller also deals with the fear of the unknown, of past
events and secrets. Or of moving on with one's life.
In THE
RIVER, I deal with the fear of discovering that a father you thought was dead
was actually alive...and in danger. It also touches on the fear that the world
as we know it may end much sooner than we think. There are many who fear
conspiracies, and that is a key factor in this thriller. How are we changing
this world for the worst, and at what point have we become God?
In my
thriller, CHILDREN OF THE FOG, I explore every mother's worst nightmare―the
fear of losing a child. What's more, I take this to a more terrifying level by
delving into the fear of having a child abducted and of having the main
character make a terrible choice: to let a kidnapper take her child, or watch
her son die. What would YOU choose?
And in my
new psychological thriller, SUBMERGED,
I explore one of my own fears—the fear of being trapped in a car that is
submerged underwater. Just the thought of this happening makes my breath freeze
in my lungs and makes my fingers curl. I can imagine the fear, the burning
water in my nose and lungs, the moment when I know I can't hold my breath any
longer…and the realization that I'm about to drown.
When my
husband and I are traveling, I am always leery of driving too close to the edge
of the road if water sits at the bottom of an embankment. When writing this
novel, I often found myself holding my breath and then gulping in air when I
finally remembered to breathe.
And now I
have an important question to ask you: What
are YOU afraid of?
