The Gray Area with Sean Illing

CHAPTER

Surviving the Apocalypse

"I'm drawn to stories of people who are not necessarily equipped to deal with how dangerous the world is too soon," says author. "Joy and love are very much about survival, and as vital to survival as all the other stuff... learning how to kill people's stuff." The first novel i wrote was about an orphan, and also, he was definitly a survivor. I think long term emotional strength is what i'm interested in if we're talking about survival", she adds.
