And yes, y...X, I googled Johnstown - scary stuff!! And yes, you'd have a hard time writing it in a novel. It's a bit like the Canberra bushfires of a couple of years ago, which started many, many miles away a few days before but wiped out suburbs in the city. If you wrote a story in which a fire jumped a *series* of fire breaks and containment lines and covered 20km in 30 mins, no-one would believe it.

Discovery, TLC, et-al) documentary on the johnstown (johnston?) flood. <BR/><BR/>A smallish dam broke way up river and by the time it reached Johnstown... well lets just say kitchen sinks were the least of it.<BR/><BR/>If it were a disaster movie (or book), by the 4th catastrophic event ( and the onslaught still hasn't reached Johnstown yet) the audience would be THIS!

They have real depth that (forgive me) you can really dive into and lose yourself in the world and characters you create.<BR/><BR/>Oh I wish I could remember, but I read a newspaper article/ or watched a documentary, true story, that was so fanatastic that, as a writer, you could never write it simply because it was so fantastically unbelievable... a perfect case THIS!

I...I love dark books like the ones you write, Bron. It's funny, 'cause I don't like to write them though. Hmmm.
