Just start writing, the first few drafts will be awful but if you're excited about the story keep with it. Have someone read over and give you feedback.

I'm currently writing a novel called The Medium, which is about an atheist whose belief system is tested when a psychic informs him where his missing wife is. It will be out in the summer 2019.

My primary school teacher set us weekly stories to write and mine were read out every week - I've since thanked her by sending her a copy of the book and we've regained touch. I didn't write for years after leaving school however when I lived in America I wrote a blog which received great feedback so I picked it up again and here I am.

The easiest answer would be 9/11, however this wasn't the case. The story of someone faking their death for insurance fraud was from a British man known as Canoe Man, who faked his death and his family found out through a photograph on a Spanish property website years later that he was still alive. I remember however everyone outside of this man's family found the story funny. To really feel the anger of a nation, 9/11 was the only plausible historic event where people genuinely disappeared and there were false claims submitted to insurance firms.
