Welcome to Luke C Jackson's official message board. This is a great place to ask questions and make suggestions about my writing, and listen to what other people have to say. I'll try to drop in whenever I can and answer your posts. One warning is that, in the sections labelled 'The Unclaimed', 'Summer's End' and 'Sleeper', you may find some spoilers; if you want to avoid these, but want to read a bit of the stories themselves, I recommend you check out the pages dedicated to them on my site. And remember: people of all different ages will be showing up here, so please keep your comments clean.

Which country is the most exciting setting for a novel?
My next novel 'Sleeper' is set in India. Writing the novel has been really exciting for me because, while writing, I've really felt like I was re-living the exprience of traveling there at the beginning of last year. So you can answer this question in a couple of ways: firstly, which country would you be most excited to read about? Secondly, if you write yourself, which country would you most like to write about? And, of course, why? |

Re: Which country is the most exciting setting for a novel?
My introduction to reading novels was a series set in Japan and I've been fascinated with the country ever since. Now, however, I am looking forward to reading about the countries bordering the Meditteranean Sea to the east. As the junction of Europe, Asia and Africa, the area saw the creation of modern civilisation as we know it. It would be fascinating to know how the area was influenced by the rest of the world and, in turn, became influential. |

Re: Which country is the most exciting setting for a novel?
That's a very well thought out answer, Ian. It sounds like a fascinating location (possibly both geographically and time-wise, if you were going to explore the time in which the influence took place. What was it that you liked so much about the book/s set in Japan, if you could remember? And what was it that the writer did that gave you such a good sense of the place? |
