The idea for "The Incident" arose from a variety of places. I admit, I am a fan of disaster movies, but it disturbed me that most of them showed people in a negative light. Every disaster portrayed, brought out the worst in people and they immediately started
forming gangs and mistrusting each other. I wondered what would happen if, during a disaster, people started helping each other and banding together for mutual benefit.
Living in Alberta during the time of the Fort MacMurray fire, where 90,000 people were evacuated and tales of heroism were many, it clarified my view that disaster did not have to mean anarchy. "The Incident" is a tale of people loving each other and surviving a catastrophic event without violence and mayhem. However, realizing that conflict is inevitable and also necessary to a good story, there is enough in the story to make it exciting.
I hope you enjoy reading "They Called it the Incident" and post a favorable review on Smashwords.
