THE RECLAMATION

As you might have noticed, I’m a sucker for anything post-apocalyptic. In my catalogue of unused writing ideas, I have a stack of variations of the way the world might end. Often, though, you need two things to tell a good apocalyptic yarn: the macro story (ie what’s happening to the whole of civilisation in the background) and the micro story (what’s happening to the individual characters the story is actually about). THE RECLAMATION is a collision of two such ideas – one an environmental catastrophe, and the other a snapshot of a small group’s fight for survival in a most inappropriate place.
