Juliette Power asked Ian Jackson:

Hi Ian, thanks for following me. When you write crime and thrillers do you find that you have sink into role and experience it to write the story? Heavy stuff. How do you deal with that without going crazy?

Ian Jackson Hi Juliette, thanks for the question...I write characters that are affected by the story line if that makes sense? I love to put my characters into situations where I know they will be deeply uncomfortable and then try to react on their behalf based on their particular psychological make-up. In that way, I as the writer insulate myself against the story becoming too personal...however, craziness is in-built!
