I am often asked why I decided to use a Game of Chess as the entire plot of my first book, The Eight.
And I’m asked why Chess has always continued to be a recurring theme throughout my books.
In one of my Author Podcasts I discuss the importance of chess to my work.

In The Fire — the sequel to The Eight – Chess becomes more than a metaphor. It provides the “players” –the characters– a different way of thinking; it alters their memory and perception. And more than that:

In my books, Chess becomes a universe of its own: a cosmic game which mirrors
the most ancient story of all: the endless battle between “Good” and “Evil.”

WELCOME TO THE GAME!
