After seeing the movie, LONE SURVIVOR, I was reminded of just how much former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell’s experience inspired my own writing. Before he even published LONE SURVIVOR back in 2007, I had read snippets in the newspapers about a sole surviving Navy SEAL of an operation-gone-wrong, and that news alone was enough to inspire my fourth SEAL book, NEXT TO DIE, which was dedicated to Marcus and all those who perished.
A reader reminded me recently that Marcus Luttrell’s experience also inspired the evolution of THE PROTECTOR, book one of my Taskforce Series, in which my hero suffers a similar traumatic experience as Marcus’s and blames himself for the deaths of his teammates. Who knows how the US Navy SEALs will continue to inspire my future novels?
